When the earlier report was prepared, the US didn’t have a decarbonization policy, although the growth of natural gas and renewables was dropping the emissions involved in producing electricity.
The law also includes incentives for efficient appliances and items like heat pumps, which should help the drive toward electrification and help limit the additional demand placed on the electric grid.
Combined with the EPA’s planned regulation of fossil fuel generation and incentives for existing nuclear plants in the infrastructure law, this should go a long way toward decarbonizing the electric grid.
The timeline to 2050 will also involve doing all the hard things—decarbonizing things like air travel, shipping, and industrial processes, and/or performing enough carbon capture to offset anything we can’t eliminate emissions from.
“Up to 355,000 deaths per year are caused by air pollution from fossil fuels combustion, which disproportionately occur in communities of color and low-income households,” the report notes.
These would include a share of the new jobs created, as well as financing that ensures access to things like efficient appliances and distributed solar—the latter goal will require reforms to the financial markets, the report notes.
