Obama no menciona ni el clima ni el calentamiento global en el discursoo del estado de la unión.

Obama no mencionó ni la palabra “clima”, ni las expresiones “calentamiento global”, “cambio climático”, o disrupción climática",  en su discurso sobre el estado de la unión. Una sorpresa, porque es la primera vez que ocurre con un discurso de Obama de esta importancia.

No parece tanto que sea porque ha cambiado de política, sino porque ha debido parecerle que lo del clima ya no es la mejor manera de vender esa política. Porque sí ha metido un párrafo importante dedicado a las “energías limpias”, con plazos y cantidades, y de forma relevante:

We’ll invest in biomedical research, information technology, and especially clean energy technology – an investment that will strengthen our security, protect our planet, and create countless new jobs for our people.

…

With more research and incentives, we can break our dependence on oil with biofuels, and become the first country to have 1 million electric vehicles on the road by 2015.

We need to get behind this innovation. And to help pay for it, I’m asking Congress to eliminate the billions in taxpayer dollars we currently give to oil companies. I don’t know if you’ve noticed, but they’re doing just fine on their own. So instead of subsidizing yesterday’s energy, let’s invest in tomorrow’s.

Now, clean energy breakthroughs will only translate into clean energy jobs if businesses know there will be a market for what they’re selling. So tonight, I challenge you to join me in setting a new goal: by 2035, 80% of America’s electricity will come from clean energy sources. Some folks want wind and solar. Others want nuclear, clean coal, and natural gas. To meet this goal, we will need them all – and I urge Democrats and Republicans to work together to make it happen.
