Director of the National Renewal Energy Laboratory tells 3,000 renewable energy people that non-renewal energy should be phased out to prevent bad weather

Natural gas has limited role in energy future, says NREL lab director - The Denver Post

Even as utilities — such as Xcel Energy in Colorado — move to build new gas-fired power plants, fossil fuels should be phased out by 2040 to blunt man-made climate change.

That was the message Dan Arvizu, director of the National Renewal Energy Laboratory, delivered today at the opening session of the World Renewal Energy Forum in Denver.

The biennial meeting is being attended by about 3,000 renewable energy representatives, advocates and policy makers from 66 countries.
