Es solo una cuesti\u00f3n de si el Congreso puede hacer frente a la influencia de los intereses de los combustibles f\u00f3siles y lograrlo.<\/p>\n<p>Es dif\u00edcil imaginar un conjunto de circunstancias m\u00e1s maduro para una revoluci\u00f3n de energ\u00eda limpia. El desastre en el Golfo brinda recordatorios diarios y v\u00edvidos de los altos costos de la dependencia de los combustibles f\u00f3siles. Pero no es la \u00fanica raz\u00f3n ni la m\u00e1s importante para dejar el h\u00e1bito.<\/p>\n<p>La disrupci\u00f3n clim\u00e1tica ya est\u00e1 afectando los sistemas humanos y naturales en todo el mundo. Si no se controla, socavar\u00e1 nuestra capacidad de \u201cpreservar un planeta similar a aquel en el que se desarroll\u00f3 la civilizaci\u00f3n y al que se adapt\u00f3 la vida en la Tierra\u201d, en palabras de nuestro destacado cient\u00edfico del clima, James Hansen de la NASA.<\/p>\n<p>Mientras tanto, nuestra econom\u00eda est\u00e1 chisporroteando. Necesita m\u00e1s que una puesta a punto; necesita un motor nuevo. Y el nuevo impulsor m\u00e1s poderoso para la innovaci\u00f3n, la inversi\u00f3n y el empleo a nivel mundial es la floreciente econom\u00eda de energ\u00eda limpia.<\/p>\n<p>Aquellos que dicen que no podemos darnos el lujo de dejar nuestra adicci\u00f3n a los combustibles f\u00f3siles simplemente no est\u00e1n haciendo los c\u00e1lculos. Pero nuestros competidores lo son. Alemania, Espa\u00f1a, Jap\u00f3n y China son solo algunos de los pa\u00edses que se han comprometido firmemente a liderar la transici\u00f3n hacia la energ\u00eda limpia y cosecharon los beneficios de la reducci\u00f3n de las importaciones, ahorros en costos de energ\u00eda, nuevas industrias din\u00e1micas y buenos nuevos empleos. Cada d\u00eda que Estados Unidos espera para aprobar una pol\u00edtica clim\u00e1tica y energ\u00e9tica seria es un d\u00eda en que nos quedamos m\u00e1s atr\u00e1s en la carrera por el liderazgo econ\u00f3mico mundial. Es por eso que m\u00e1s de 200 empresas de Oreg\u00f3n forman parte de una campa\u00f1a nacional para apoyar una legislaci\u00f3n integral sobre el clima y la energ\u00eda limpia. Como si el poder arraigado de los intereses del petr\u00f3leo y el carb\u00f3n no fuera suficiente, el Senado enfrenta otro obst\u00e1culo pol\u00edtico: el miedo. Los senadores temen que los estadounidenses no est\u00e9n preparados para un cambio fundamental. Temen que sus oponentes tergiversen el tema para obtener ventajas pol\u00edticas. Temen que las soluciones no funcionen.<\/p>\n<p>Pero los estadounidenses de todo el espectro saben, ahora m\u00e1s que nunca, que la dependencia de los combustibles f\u00f3siles es un callej\u00f3n sin salida. Tenemos la tecnolog\u00eda, el ingenio y la voluntad para hacer frente a nuestra dependencia de los combustibles f\u00f3siles.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"Javascript:openWin('http:\/\/www.oregonlive.com\/opinion\/index.ssf\/2010\/07\/a_new_energy_policy_if_not_now.html');\"><strong>Leer m\u00e1s -&gt;<\/strong><\/a><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Oregon Sen.
