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 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.
