This year has brought new evidence of what major fossil fuel companies knew and when about the role their products play in climate change, as well as what they did in spite of what they knew. But these technologies are no substitute for sharp cuts in fossil fuels if we keep the goals of the Paris climate agreement within reach.

A two-bill package has been introduced in the House and Senate to establish new incentives for the use of fossil-fueled vehicles-- rebranded as “low emission transportation fuels”-- and eliminating rebates and grants for hybrid and electric vehicles.

This approach originated from the recognition that many alternative fuels, especially ethanol, involve a lot of fossil fuels and other pollution in their production. The CI of an electric vehicle charged with solar power is zero, and most of the biofuels fall somewhere in the middle [i]. The key word here is offset.

Among those is the growing risk that the chaos up-ends agriculture on a large scale —affecting markets for oil seeds, wheat, and other cereal grains, as well as fertilizers derived from natural gas, with effects that ripple across the world. Today’s farming relies on another Russian export—natural gas.

Companies are spending millions fighting lawsuits that would hold them accountable for the costs that fossil fuel extraction has imposed on people and the planet. Further, these efforts are focused on carbon capture and storage, hydrogen, and biofuels—technologies that aim to stash carbon emissions away, not reduce their production.

Scenario 3: Achieves carbon neutrality by 2045 by deploying a broad portfolio of existing and emerging fossil fuel alternatives and clean technologies. Under the Proposed Scenario, buildings in the state will almost completely decarbonize by 2045, with the use of fossil natural gas decreasing to a fraction of what is used today.
