Where can I get information about how energy resource development affects climate change?
Renewable energy resources such and wind and solar power have negligible effects on climate change, while fossil fuels such as coal, oil, and gas emit substantial quantities of greenhouse gases when burned for utility-scale commercial power generation using technologies currently available. More information about potential climate change impacts of the energy resources presented through the TEEIC Web site is available on the Air Quality Impacts pages under the Production or Operation Impacts subsections of the Potential Impacts sections of the Energy Resource modules. More information about climate change impacts on tribes is available on the Tribes and Climate Change Web site of the Institute for Tribal Environmental Professionals.
