December 23, 2020 More on the recent Princeton study looking at pathways to zero carbon by mid-century. Now a mountainous body of scholarship and real life experience indicating we can do this, but time is short. If the United States wants to get serious about tackling climate change, the country will need to build a staggering amount of new energy infrastructure in just the next 10 years, laying down steel and concrete at a pace barely being contemplated today. That’s one conclusion from a major study released Tuesday by a team of energy experts at Princeton University, who set out sever...

Biden wants the U.S. to stop contributing to climate change by 2050. Here’s what that would actually take.

The year is 2050, and everything in your home — perhaps in your entire life — is electric. Your car runs on battery power. Your home heating runs through a highly efficient heat-pump system that has long since replaced the gas furnace. Not even the burners on your stove produce combustio...

By the year 2050, in Joe Biden's vision of America - even more ambitious than what the Obama administration proposed - the US would no longer be putting greenhouse gases into the air. And for that to happen, it's likely that our world would have to look a lot like what was just described. That's the gist of what an extremely detailed study from energy experts at Princeton University describes in 344 exacting slides what it would take for the US to be "net zero" – meaning, any remaining greenhouse gas emissions would be offset by subtractions through forests, agriculture, or perhaps direct...

To Cut Emissions to Zero, U.S. Needs to Make Big Changes in Next 10 Years New research details major infrastructure work — including immense construction projects — that would need to start right away to achieve Biden’s goal of zero emissions by 2050. To meet its goal of being carbon neutral by 2050, the United States will need to invest broadly in energy infrastructure.Credit...Beth Coller for The New York Times Dec. 15, 2020 If the United States wants to get serious about tackling climate change, the country will need to build a staggering amount of new energy infrastructure in just t...
