With the clean energy transition already under way, the US electricity mix is set to continue changing this year. Solar power is expected to make up about half of all additions of US electric generating capacity in 2023, according to data from the US Energy Information Administration (EIA). I’ll start off with the good.

Each credit one metric ton of carbon dioxide equivalent pollution below the standard. I’ve written recently about why a Cap on Vegetable Oil-Based Fuels Will Stabilize and Strengthen California’s Low Carbon Fuel Standard , which addresses the bio-based diesel credits.

Wind and solar power, paired with energy storage and energy savings, can almost entirely replace fossil fuels – and leave our communities better off. And one of their favourite tactics is to push technology that they claim can help reduce greenhouse gas emissions – especially carbon capture and storage and hydrogen.

However, make no mistake: Technological advancement did not create the production boom by itself. Oil and gas major ConocoPhillips’ website says gas is “one of the safest and cleanest fuels available” and that when it is burned, it “produces mostly carbon dioxide and water vapor—the same substances emitted when humans exhale.”

Transition quickly to renewable energy As much as 95% of West Bengal’s 10.7 gigawatts of installed power capacity comes from fossil fuels like coal. Achieving a more ambitious target for renewables is doable because we have the technology and it is affordable.

The Tokyo Olympics will be powered by a fuel with ambition – hydrogen. The Olympic village will be powered by hydrogen made at a solar power plant in the exclusion zone created after the Fukushima nuclear accident a decade ago. Grey is made from natural gas or coal, and has a large carbon footprint.
