Those currently operating fossil fuel plants generate 25 percent of U.S. JM: Quite simply, if we don’t clean up the power sector, we won’t get anywhere close to reducing the amount of carbon emissions needed to avoid the worst consequences of climate change. Not even close. EPA Supreme Court decision in 2022.

Canada is upping its pledge too, and will table a new climate plan in March. . And Ontario is, well… Ontario really really likes so-called “natural” gas – a fossil fuel – and plans to use more of it to generate electricity. 600 per cent more by 2040 – which is going to add a lot more climate pollution to the atmosphere!

Concentrations of CO2 in the atmosphere have risen approximately 47 percent since 1750, mostly from the burning of fossil fuels for energy. Strategies for capturing carbon from fossil fuel power plants, to prevent it from entering the atmosphere, have long lingered on the sidelines. from 1990–2019.
