Ⅱ.阅读理解 A Although our reliance on fossil fuels(化石燃料) has created global warming, we now have the opportunity to begin a_transformation towards a clean energy economy—one that is supported by highly efficient industries, fueled by clean, renewable resources, like wind, solar and geothermal (地热的) energy, and based on modern smart transportation planning. A clean energy economy is a win for American jobs. Studies by leading research institutions have shown that if we invest in clean energy over fossil fuels, we will create more American jobs. A report released by the United Steelworkers and the Sierra Club, for example, found that thanks to the growth of wind energy, about 5，200 manufacturing jobs could be created in Iowa alone over the next decade. Additional studies have found that thousands more jobs could be created in other states that have suffered industry job losses and that welcome the opportunity to train workers for the new energy economy. But, in order to fully transit to a clean energy economy，we need our elected officials to take action. Without policies from the government, the private field may continue to invest in old－fashioned, polluting technologies. More than 70 coal plants without technology to capture carbon pollution are now being considered. If these projects go ahead, this will be billions of dollars invested
