Energy Policy Solutions

Preventing dangerous climate change is an “area under the curve” problem, as total emissions over time must not exceed a trillion tons of carbon. The imperative, then, is focusing on strategies that offer speed and scale in carbon reduction. Ten policies, applied to 20 countries, can land us at a reasonable climate future.

This seminar by Hal Harvey will lay out the policies that can put us on the path to a low-carbon future, describe the design elements that ensure success, and apply this focus on the “four zeros” â€"a zero-carbon grid, zero-emissions vehicles, zero-net-energy buildings, and zero-waste manufacturing.
