"Despite ambitious federal goals for an emissions-free power grid, state governments have vast discretion in energy policy, leading to varied outcomes in emissions reduction efforts. While some states prioritize clean energy initiatives, others remain heavily reliant on fossil fuels, complicating nationwide progress against climate change."
"In 2022, the U.S. generated over 6.3 billion metric tons of greenhouse gasses, making it the second largest polluter globally. The electric power sector contributed to about 25% of this total, necessitating urgent shifts towards renewable energy sources."
"The recent reduction in coal-fired power generation by over 57% in the last decade reflects a significant transition towards cleaner energy. Concurrently, the electricity generated from wind and solar has nearly tripled, indicating positive trends despite the challenges ahead to achieve zero-emissions goals."
