UCS study shows massive economic and health benefits from switch to clean energy, electrification and energy efficiency.

To tackle climate change, we’ll need to plug in millions of cars, trucks, home heaters, stoves and factories.

A new report shows that with aggressive action across all of Wisconsin’s sectors, net-zero emissions could be possible by 2050.

The Senate just released a federal budget resolution that includes a measure that could subsidize the production of natural gas. Here are 5 reasons why we shouldn't do that.

Renewable Electricity Is Coming on Strong BC and all of Cascadia could move off fossil fuels, say new models. Moving fast is key, say experts. Peter Fairley is an award-winning journalist based in Victoria and San Francisco, whose writing has appeared in Scientific American, NewScientist, Hakai Magazine, Technology Review, the Atlantic, Nature and elsewhere. SHARES Daimler Trucks North America is signing up buyers for its eCascadia battery-powered semi truck, to be ...

Home » Newsroom » Why Renewable Electricity Powers Decarbonization — and Pays Off Plugging in more stuff can slash Cascadia’s climate-warming emissions at modest cost. But that means moving much faster. Amid the 1970s Arab oil embargo, a gasoline company’s TV ads showed an aging wooden windmill. As the wind died, it slowed to stillness. The ad asked: “But what do you do when the wind stops?” For the next several decades fossil fuel providers continued to denigrate renewable energy. ...

DOE study: Net-zero emissions feasible at low cost Source: By Miranda Willson, E&E News reporter • Posted: Tuesday, February 2, 2021 A new report finds that eight actions are needed in the next decade to achieve net-zero carbon emissions affordably by 2050, including requiring new buildings to meet strict energy efficiency goals. Roy Kaltschmidt/Lawrence Berkeley Nat’l Lab The U.S. could achieve net-zero CO2 emissions by 2050 while spending less on energy relative to g...

Dive Brief: Achieving carbon neutrality by 2050 could be "surprisingly feasible," with costs running $1 per day per person or just 0.4% of the U.S GDP, according to a new report from the University of San Francisco, the Department of Energys Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, and consulting firm Evolved Energy Research. No matter which decarbonization strategy the U.S. ultimately adopts, technical limitations in other fields mean the electricity sector must be among the first to pursue agg...

Published: Tuesday, February 2, 2021 The U.S. could achieve net-zero CO2 emissions by 2050 while spending less on energy relative to gross domestic product than it has for the past 50 years, according to a new study from Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory and the San Francisco-based firm Evolved Energy Research.
