U.S. Secretary of Energy Jennifer Granholm says it is important to grow clean energy production in the U.S. and also to spend on the carbon capture industry.
Granholm knows there's skepticism about carbon capture technologies. Critics say that it's mainly used by polluting industries as a way to delay the necessary work of reducing emissions.
In particular, carbon capture technologies will be important to compensate for hard-to-decarbonize sectors of the economy, like heavy industry and the production of steel and cement, she said."We have a goal of net zero by 2050. And you know, the IPCC has said that fossil fuels are going to be around during this transition," Granholm said."So we've got to start now in these technologies.
