Much of the cradle-to-grave carbon intensity data that governments depend on to guide in photovoltaic arrays are instead based on modeling assumptions that are likely to have grossly under-estimated — if not made-up — solar’s carbon emissions because they cannot get insights from Chinese manufacturers.

Just weeks ago, Saudi Arabia pledged to reach ‘net zero carbon emissions within its borders’ by 2060, but that calculation will not include oil exports (. carbon dioxide, greenhouse gases, all emissions?). But it is another thing for a business to make ESG claims about net zero or otherwise that mislead customers.

At a time where scientists are trying to figure out how to suck the excess carbon out of our atmosphere, Mother Nature has known how to do it for millions of years. Trees are very efficient at absorbing carbon dioxide. It is estimated that one acre of forest absorbs six tons of carbon dioxide and puts out four tons of oxygen.

Regrettably, in the absence of a threat that is immediate and palpable, like a hurricane, the concept in practice has often been an oxymoron, with states litigating to undermine or reject national programs to reduce carbon emissions. Meanwhile, the Biden Administration has committed the US to net zero carbon emissions by 2050.

Last month, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) proposed new power plant carbon pollution standards that, if strengthened, would go a long way to help meet the Biden administration’s goal of slashing carbon emissions in half from 2005 levels by the end of this decade.

The Supreme Court sharply limited the Environmental Protection Agency’s ability to slash carbon pollution from power plants. The justices told EPA that it can set carbon emissions standards based only on interventions at individual power plants. In 2016, the high court—already at a 5-4 conservative majority—put the CPP on hold.
