Utility Decarbonization
Carbon emissions from electricity generation have dropped over the past few decades, but progress is stagnant. We need to decarbonize, not stall, to address the climate crisis.
We are at a critical point in the decarbonization of electricity. Our most effective way to address the climate crisis is to stop generating electricity from fossil fuels. Transitioning to clean, cost-effective sources like solar, wind, storage, and energy efficiency would increase energy affordability, security, and reliability, create clean energy jobs, and reduce climate pollution.
62% of registered US voters want the government to move the country to a 100% clean energy electricity grid by 2035 to address climate change.
To cut our region’s overall emissions in half by 2030, Southeastern utilities must reduce their carbon output by 120 million tons.
74% of registered voters in America support setting strict limits on methane emissions from oil and gas production.
