Electrifying the Path to Climate Change

摘要

AS PRESIDENT JOE BIDEN'S ADMINISTRATION SETTLES IN, we can expect to see a very different approach to climate change. Reducing greenhouse gas emissions from buildings, vehicles and power plants is sure to become a priority again. However, while improving energy efficiency will return as a policy goal, reducing total electricity usage likely will not. In fact, many clean energy advocates see heating, cooling and transportation powered by electricity instead of fossil fuels as critical to mitigating the impacts of climate change.
