These statistics are extremely encouraging and are critical steps in the transition to a clean energy system. On the other end of the electric grid, advanced technologies can help reduce the amount of energy that is required for basic services like lighting, heating, and cooling.

For wind and solar energy to be available irrespective of weather conditions, they must be combined with storage systems that make electricity available anytime, especially during peak demand periods. . National Renewable Energy Laboratory notes, storage can take many forms , including: using batteries. As the U.S. The Path Forward .

We are at a game-changing moment for all of humanity, as climate science tells us exactly where we’re headed if we don’t reduce carbon emissions urgently. A just transition to a clean-energy economy is the priority and solution. percent, compared to an average of 2.3 percent for non-low-income households).

If we can slow warming a bit, even if we end up in the same place ultimately due to carbon emissions, that gives us more time to prepare for what’s coming down the road. This program can cushion the economic impact of the transition to clean energy. Doing so makes sense as a policy matter.

These new protections will include updates to power plant standards on carbon emissions , mercury pollution , and toxic coal ash pollution , just to name a few. For coal-fired power, the economic case has been bleak for a long time now, which has brought US coal-fired generation down to less than half of its 2010 level.

The production and transportation of oil and gas also cause significant environmental impacts, as does the use of enormous amounts of water for cooling the generators. EPA could hold back from doing anything about carbon emissions from existing power plants, instead focusing on tighter regulation of their other environmental impacts.
