According to the science, over the next 7 years we must focus on reducing emissions of heat-trapping gases significantly to halve emissions by 2030 and avoid the worst impacts of climate change. The governors of Maine, Connecticut, Rhode Island and Massachusetts serve four-year terms and will exit more than half-way to the 2030 deadline.

Fossil gas, which is used for heating, electricity, and industrial processes, is responsible for one third of Ontario’s greenhouse gas emissions and is harmful to human health. The province’s gas ramp-up is projected to increase electricity-sector emissions by over 400 per cent by 2030 and by almost 800 per cent by 2040.

When the sun isn’t shining or the wind isn’t blowing, batteries help store clean energy to continue supplying electricity to the grid and to customers consistently and reliably. Generating and storing clean energy is a lifeline for the planet’s future; burning coal, oil, and gas fossil fuels causes 75% of greenhouse gas emissions.

Hydropower generation across California and the American West has declined in this extremely dry year, meaning that electricity providers will lean more heavily on natural gas, solar, and wind power. President Biden’s goal is to cut the country’s greenhouse gas emissions in half by 2030, and to reach net zero emissions by 2050.

This is because subsidies increase the amounts of fossil fuels we produce and greenhouse gases we emit, polluting our ocean and making virgin plastic cheaper, all while padding the profits of polluters.
