Last year a total of 266 gigawatts (GW) of renewables was installed, with solar power leading the field. The President of the Energy Institute, a UK-based body, Juliet Davenport said : “Despite further strong growth in wind and solar in the power sector, overall global energy-related greenhouse gas emissions increased again.

This is one reason why there was no runaway greenhouse warming when CO2 concentrations approached 20 times that of today. First, there is a strong case that these are solar-powered fuels. This inconvenient fact, despite its importance, is rarely mentioned because it undermines the theory of a future climate catastrophe.

Further, while gas emits less carbon dioxide than coal, its main component is methane, an extremely potent greenhouse gas that is released into the atmosphere when gas is burned—a fact that ConocoPhillips conveniently left out on its website. Methane is also a fast-acting greenhouse gas in terms of its impact on the climate.

Enacted in 2019, the CLCPA transformed the state’s earlier clean energy standard efforts from administrative fiat to law and sets more aggressive goals to reduce statewide greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions economy-wide to 60% from a 1990 baseline by 2030, and 15% from a 1990 baseline by 2050.

Under the LCFS each fuel pathway gets a unique carbon intensity (CI) based on a lifecycle analysis of the greenhouse gas emissions associated with the production and use of the fuel. The CI of an electric vehicle charged with solar power is zero, and most of the biofuels fall somewhere in the middle [i].

Managing the role of the energy sector will be a key challenge in meeting this target, being responsible for 53% of the country’s emissions, according to the latest update of its greenhouse gas inventory in 2019. The transition away from fossil fuels has, however, been an elusive goal for Argentina to date.
