Efficiency and Renewables Can Cut U.S. GHG Emissions Significantly
On January 31, the Sierra Club and the American Solar Energy Association released a 200-page report, "Tackling Climate Change in the U.S.: Potential Carbon Emissions Reductions from Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy by 2030." The result of more than a year of study, the report illustrates how energy efficiency and renewable energy technologies can provide the emissions reductions required to address global warming.
The report lays out a roadmap for reducing U.S. CO2 emissions 80 percent by 2050. The strategy focuses on energy efficiency and renewable energy sources, and meeting U.S. economic needs without additional reliance on gas, nuclear, or advanced coal technologies.
The report illustrates how energy efficiency measures could keep U.S. carbon emissions roughly constant over the next 23 years as the economy grows, and how renewable energy technologies could make deep cuts below today's emissions.
