UCS Senior Energy Analyst Julie McNamara addressed the industry’s ruse in a recent blog post: “Given the fallacy of the fossil fuel solution, our policymakers should stop hyper-focusing on fossil fuel production and instead take a full-field view of near- and long-term needs and opportunities, both at home and abroad.

Similarly, the province’s subsidy to Emerald—the owner of the garbage incinerator in Peel—in the name of clean energy and innovation is terrible double speak. The Emerald incinerator in Brampton is the second highest local industrial emitter of the toxic pollutant nitrogen oxide, according to the National Pollutant Release Inventory.

New UCS study shows how we can accelerate US clean energy ambition An interdisciplinary team of UCS experts set out to explore how the US can meet its goals to cut heat-trapping emissions 50%-52% below 2005 levels by 2030 and achieve net zero emissions no later than 2050.

The case for phasing out of fossil fuels and making a just and equitable transition to clean energy has never been more clear. Contrast that with some of the wider benefits of the clean energy transition, such as phasing out coal generation by 2030, which are realized by everyone including historically disenfranchised groups.

This decision wrongfully precludes the agency’s authority to set robust power plant carbon pollution standards in line with today’s technologies and practices adopted on a sector-wide basis. While clean energy progress is definitely underway, it is not happening fast enough or on the scale necessary to limit the threat from climate change.

The onus is on the EPA to establish that the technologies it considers in setting its standards, such as carbon capture or hydrogen co-firing, are achievable. billion.
