April 18, 2024

WASHINGTON, D.C. – The American Council on Renewable Energy (ACORE) announced today that Jeremy Horan has joined the organization as its new Vice President of Government Affairs.

Horan joins ACORE following nearly 20 years of service in the U.S. Congress and executive branch, where he worked extensively to advance and defend clean energy policies. He most recently served as Director of Congressional and Public Affairs for the U.S. Department of Commerce’s Bureau of Industry and Security.

“We are thrilled to have Jeremy on our team,” said ACORE President and CEO Ray Long. “Jeremy’s deep government expertise and firsthand understanding of political processes and procedures will be a huge asset for ACORE and its member companies as we continue our efforts to expand America’s clean energy reach.”

Additionally, Lesley Hunter is now serving as ACORE’s Senior Vice President of Policy and Engagement. Hunter has been with the organization for more than 15 years, and in this role will oversee all of ACORE’s policy work and the development of clean energy resources and analysis.

“ACORE is very fortunate to now have such a deep bench working to promote and defend policies that accelerate America’s clean energy transition,” added Long.

We’re Running Out of Time

There really are threats to human civilization that seem to be mounting in intensity:

• World fascism. (If it can happen in the U.S., it could conceivably happen anywhere.)

• Environmental collapse.

• Malicious use of AI.

• Pandemics, as misinformation on vaccinations spread and the frozen tundra melts, releasing pathogens never seen by humans.

• Nuclear war.

Addressing the point made at left, is there any scenario in which world governments agree to cooperate so as to stave off the end of an organized society here on Earth? One supposes so, though it sounds far-fetched in today’s world in which the leaders of most of the 200+ sovereign nations are trying so desperately to cling to power.

An ever-increasing number of Americans are realizing that Trump is criminally insane, and is leading this nation to destruction.

It’s a pleasure to see that Dr. Brian Cox has people so popular, having joined the ranks for Neil DeGrasse Tyson, Bill Nye, and a few others. This phenomenon of celebrity physicists if one of very few bright spots in our modern world.

I would qualify what he says at left as follows: the only people who hate the economics here are those invested in fossil fuels. Clean energy and transportation are already huge industries, and they’re growing at an amazing pace–even in the face of heavy suppression by Big Oil and Donald Trump.
