I-Climate Alliance, eyakhiwe ngabalawuli abavela kumazwe angama-25 eMelika, ibhengeze ukuba iza kukhuthaza ngamandla ukusasazwa kweepompo zobushushu ezingama-20 ezigidi ngo-2030. Oku kuya kuba kuphindwe kane kuneepompo zobushushu ezizizigidi ezingama-4.8 esele zifakiwe eMelika ngo-2020.

Njengendlela yokonga amandla endaweni yeebhoyila zefosili kunye nee-air conditioner, iimpompo zobushushu zisebenzisa umbane ukuhambisa ubushushu, nokuba zifudumeza isakhiwo xa sibanda ngaphandle okanye zisipholise xa kushushu ngaphandle. Ngokutsho kwe-International Energy Agency, iimpompo zobushushu zinokunciphisa ukukhutshwa kwegesi ezibangela ubushushu ngama-20% xa kuthelekiswa neebhoyila zegesi, kwaye zinokunciphisa ukukhutshwa kwegesi ngama-80% xa kusetyenziswa umbane ococekileyo. Ngokutsho kwe-International Energy Agency, imisebenzi yokwakha ithatha i-30% yamandla asetyenziswa kwihlabathi liphela kunye ne-26% yokukhutshwa kwegesi ezibangela ubushushu.

Iimpompo zobushushu zingonga imali yabathengi. I-International Energy Agency ithi kwiindawo ezinamaxabiso aphezulu egesi yendalo, njengaseYurophu, ukuba nempompo yobushushu kunokonga abasebenzisi malunga ne-$900 ngonyaka; eMelika, konga malunga ne-$300 ngonyaka.

Amazwe angama-25 aza kufaka iipompo zobushushu ezizizigidi ezingama-20 ngo-2030 amele ama-60% oqoqosho lwaseMelika kunye nama-55% abemi. “Ndikholelwa ukuba bonke abantu baseMelika banamalungelo athile, kwaye phakathi kwawo kukho ilungelo lobomi, ilungelo lenkululeko kunye nelungelo lokulandela iipompo zobushushu,” utshilo uRhuluneli wePhondo laseWashington uJay Inslee, ongumDemokhrasi. “Isizathu sokuba oku kubaluleke kangaka kubantu baseMelika silula: Thina Sifuna ubusika obufudumeleyo, sifuna ihlobo elipholileyo, sifuna ukuthintela ukuphazamiseka kwemozulu unyaka wonke. Akukho nto intsha itshayelweyo eyenzekileyo kwimbali yoluntu kunepompo yobushushu, kungekuphela nje ngokuba inokufudumala ebusika kodwa ikwapholile ehlotyeni.” UK Slee uthe ukubizwa kwale ntshayelelo inkulu yalo lonke ixesha “kwakungeyonto imbi kangako” kuba nangona yayibizwa ngokuba “yipompo yobushushu,” inokuba nobushushu kwaye iphole.

Amazwe akwi-US Climate Alliance aza kuhlawula ezi zixhobo zokufaka iipompo zobushushu ngokusebenzisa izibonelelo zemali eziqukwe kwi-Inflation Reduction Act, i-Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, kunye nemizamo yemigaqo-nkqubo yelizwe ngalinye elikwi-alliance. Umzekelo, iMaine iphumelele kakhulu ekufakeni iipompo zobushushu ngesenzo sayo somthetho.
