Democrat Hillary Clinton will unveil her policy agenda on climate and renewable energy on Sunday and Monday in Iowa, the center of the U.S. ethanol industry.

“We also have to finally get serious about climate change and clean renewable energy,” Clinton said Saturday, She spoke at an event in a private home in the Des Moines neighborhood of Beaverdale, a center of Democratic activism in the state that will hold the first presidential nominating contest of 2016.

“It is not only the obviously right thing to do -– there is a lot of economic opportunity,” said Clinton....

Comparing her climate objectives to the ambitious goals that former President John F. Kennedy set at the beginning of the 1960s on travel to the moon, Clinton said she she plans to “set some really ambitious goals for our country that, once again, I know we can meet.”

Right track for moving forward on climate change and damages occurring which will not be turned around.
