The EIA Just Released a 30 Year Energy Outlook. It’s… Not Great

Union of Concerned Scientists

CO 2 emissions remain mostly level through 2050—nowhere close to meeting US climate goals. Carbon emissions remain high. Source: US Energy Information Administration, Annual Energy Outlook 2022 (AEO2022). We’re risking more impacts from climate change due to continued reliance on natural gas and oil.

Ask a Scientist: Two Dozen States Can Meet 100 Percent of Electricity Demand with Renewables by 2035

Union of Concerned Scientists

All told, they represent 56 percent of the US population, generate 62 percent of the country’s gross domestic product, and are responsible for 43 percent of the country’s annual carbon emissions. We found that states have technically feasible and highly beneficial ways to achieve 100-percent renewable energy.

Ontario could easily phase out polluting fossil gas – if it wanted to

Enviromental Defense

A report commissioned by the Ontario Power Authority (now the Independent Electricity System Operator) identified 64 potential offshore wind power sites in the Great Lakes that could produce nearly 35,000 MW of electricity which is 50 per cent more than our current energy demand. Improve Energy Storage. As the U.S.

Analysis: Can Inner Mongolia reach peak carbon this decade?

A Greener Life

Yang Fuqiang thinks it is unreasonable to make energy-producing provinces such as Inner Mongolia solely responsible for cutting carbon emissions. If it benefits, it has to help cut carbon. There is huge potential for developing renewable energy in Inner Mongolia, which could be used to power other industries.

Analysis: Is hydrogen the new oil?

A Greener Life

There is talk that a global “hydrogen economy” can emerge to save the climate from carbon emissions. Hydrogen could power trucks, ships and planes and be used to produce everything from cement to steel and fertiliser. Hydrogen may have lost, to electricity, the competition to power the next generation of personal vehicles.
