Following the death of Jimmy Carter, US president from 1977 to 1981, the flurry of obituaries highlighted not only his Nobel Prize-winning diplomacy but also his eco-credentials. In stark contrast to the president-elect Donald Trump, Carter upheld green values and pioneered environmental policies decades before other world leaders grasped the urgency.<\/p>\n<p>The former president, who died aged 100, famously installed thermal solar panels on the roof of the White House in 1979 &#8211; which were removed during renovations under the Reagan administration in the mid-1980s. He enacted far more ambitious measures too, from his clean energy policies to conservation laws.<\/p>\n<p><em>\u2018The nation\u2019s first comprehensive energy policy\u2019<\/em><br \/>\nWhen Carter came to power in 1977, the world\u2019s energy markets were still reeling from the 1973 oil embargo of the Arab-Israeli war. They were delivered another blow in 1979 during the Iranian Revolution which caused a sudden collapse of crude oil production. This chaos led Carter to ideate what biographer Jonathan Alter called \u201cthe nation\u2019s first comprehensive energy policy&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>This progressive plan aimed to have 20 per cent of America\u2019s energy coming from renewable sources by 2000 &#8211; an ambitious goal that has only recently been achieved. The energy crisis also led to Carter\u2019s iconic address to the nation in 1977, during which he donned a cardigan and urged Americans to turn down the heating to collectively reduce consumption.<\/p>\n<p>The former president also founded the US Department of Energy, which undertakes cutting-edge research on sustainable fuels. The primary mission of one section is to advance nuclear power as a resource that could soon meet America\u2019s energy needs.<\/p>\n<p>Carter also left his mark with his measures to protect Alaska from threats of oil and gas developments. He designated 56 million acres of the state\u2019s wilderness as federally protected lands &#8211; more than doubling the amount of land managed by the National Park Service, the US agency that manages all the country\u2019s national parks and natural monuments. Carter\u2019s Alaska National Interest Lands Conservation Act (ANILCA) of 1980 also enshrined hunting and fishing rights for rural Alaskans. The late president self-proclaimed the act to be \u201cone of the most exceptional pieces of conservation legislation enacted by our great nation or any nation\u201d.<\/p>\n<p><a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.euronews.com\/green\/2024\/12\/31\/solar-panels-and-saving-energy-jimmy-carter-will-be-remembered-as-americas-first-green-pre\">Read more&gt;&gt;<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.euronews.com\/green\/2024\/12\/31\/solar-panels-and-saving-energy-jimmy-carter-will-be-remembered-as-americas-first-green-pre\">Euronews Green<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/environmental-news-en\/next-nuclear-talks-between-iran-and-three-european-countries-due-on-jan-13\/\">Solar panels and saving energy: Jimmy Carter will be remembered as America\u2019s first green president<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\">Vastuullisuusuutiset.fi<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[17451,575,6838],"class_list":["post-136292","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-carter","tag-environmental-news-en","tag-solar-panel"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/136292","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=136292"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/136292\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=136292"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=136292"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=136292"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
