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 built next year at the Freightliner plant in Redmond, WA. The eCascadia will have a 400-km range. Co...

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. Big power utilities piled on with claims that fluctuating solar and wind power could black out the g...

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 gross domestic product than it has for the past 50 years, according to a new study from Lawrence Berk...

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 Energy's 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 aggressive decarbonization, eliminating 65-70% of its emissions by 2035, according to Jim Williams, th...
