In addition to “climate change” and “green,” EERE forbid officials from using “emissions” to avoid the implication that they are a negative. Climate change is caused by rising greenhouse gas emissions, which is driven primarily by burning oil, coal and natural gas for energy.

Other terms officials must ditch include “energy transition,” “sustainability/sustainable,” “‘clean’ or ‘dirty’ energy,” “Carbon/CO2 ‘Footprint’” and “Tax breaks/tax credits/subsidies.”

      As someone who read the book and is hunting down an original for less than 8 thousand euros, I can safely say that this would definitely be in the book.

      I’ve read it! Or have I? There’s a lot of discussion around it, but I listened to the audiobook, so I’ll let you decide for yourself, but at least I know the full story.
