In A Statement, Joe Biden Administration Emphasized Its Intent To Reduce Carbon Emissions - Texas Today

According to President Joe Biden, all corporations that provide electricity to American households must comply with reducing all carbon emissions by 2035.

The government said the US would use it as the starting point to accomplish its climate goals. Several environmental organizations have urged global governments to reduce greenhouse gas emissions because of the deteriorating climate. However, the nation’s power business is hesitant to abandon fossil fuels, despite the Biden administration’s advocacy for cleaner energy sources.

Many businesses are using natural gas to power residences. As a result, the nation will build natural gas facilities that can power more than 12.8 million homes, according to the US Energy Information Administration. Despite producing fewer emissions than coal, natural gas plants operating at full capacity run the risk of releasing enormous amounts of methane into the sky.

“If you’re going to kick that 20% of coal off the grid by 2030 or 2035, there is zero chance you can do that without increasing gas,” said Andy Devries, an analyst from CreditSights.

“After the coal’s off the grid, how much longer does it take to kick the gas off? That’s at least another ten years. And that’s aggressive,” he added.

Small Carbon Reduction Will Not Help

A significant reduction in carbon emissions is required, according to scientists. They did emphasize, though, that making sporadic, minor cuts would not aid in the environment’s recovery. It will instead cause more damaging storms, heat waves, and flooding in the future.

Experts applauded the push to invest in solar energy, which would result in the construction of 45 gigawatts of solar and wind power plants in 2023. However, the environment will still unavoidably be impacted because additional emissions are anticipated for next year…….Read more
