| 4 | Connecticut | 100% carbon-free electricity by 2040 | Governor Ned Lamont’s 2019 Executive Order (Number 3) set a 2040 goal for carbon-free electricity and asked the Department of Energy and Environmental Protection to develop a decarbonization plan for the power sector, in line with previous legislation to cut economy-wide carbon emissions by 80% below 2001 levels by 2050. | 11 | Nevada | 100% carbon-free electricity by 2050 | 2019 legislation (SB 358) raised the RPS to 50% by 2030, and set a goal of a net-zero emission power sector by 2050. | 12 | New Jersey | 100% carbon-free electricity by 2035 | Governor Phil Murphy’s Executive Order 315 in 2023 set a goal of ensuring 100% of energy sold in the state comes from clean sources by 2035 and directed BPU to develop an updated Energy Master Plan by 2024. | 14 | New York | 100% carbon-free electricity by 2040 | 2019 legislation (S6599) requires zero-emissions electricity by 2040 and sets a goal of cutting all state GHGs 85% by 2050.

We need to revolutionize how we generate and use electricity, by making renewable energy sources like wind and solar more abundant, more affordable, and more accessible to everyone. we need to revolutionize how we generate and use electricity, by making renewable energy sources like wind and solar more abundant, more affordable, and more accessible to everyone. That means we need to revolutionize how we generate and use electricity, by making renewable energy sources like wind and solar more abundant, more affordable, and more accessible to everyone. That’s why last month the Department of Energy (DOE) announced two bold goals: to deploy 30 gigawatts of offshore wind within the decade, and cut the current cost of solar energy by 60% by 2030. In partnership with the Departments of Interior, Commerce, and Transportation, DOE’s new offshore wind goal would generate enough clean electricity to power over 10 million homes, and keep 78 million metric tons of carbon dioxide out of the atmosphere. DOE announced major new solar energy cost cutting goals in March 2021.

# Making Clean Electrification Possible: 30 Years to Electrify the Global Economy. In its new report ***Making Clean Electrification Possible: 30 Years to Electrify the Global Economy***, the Energy Transitions Commission (ETC) states that massive clean electrification will be the primary route to decarbonisation, complemented by hydrogen in the harder-to-abate sectors. The rapidly falling costs of renewables and storage solutions make it possible to achieve the required massive expansion of clean power systems at low cost, according to the report. This report is part of the ETC’s wider ***Making Mission Possible Series*** – a series of reports outlining how to scale up clean energy provision within the next 30 years to meet the needs of a net-zero greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) economy by mid-century.

**The global pathway to net zero emissions by 2050 detailed in this report requires all governments to significantly strengthen and then successfully implement their energy and climate policies.** Commitments made to date fall far short of what is required by that pathway. **In this Summary for Policy Makers, we outline the essential conditions for the global energy sector to reach net zero CO****2** **emissions by 2050.** The pathway described in depth in this report achieves this objective with no offsets from outside the energy sector, and with low reliance on negative emissions technologies. **The path to net zero emissions is narrow: staying on it requires immediate and massive deployment of all available clean and efficient energy technologies.** In the net zero emissions pathway presented in this report, the world economy in 2030 is some 40% larger than today but uses 7% less energy. The transition to net zero brings substantial new opportunities for employment, with 14 million jobs created by 2030 in our pathway thanks to new activities and investment in clean energy.

*New study by Baylor researchers finds infrastructure, leadership and understanding in the way of fully sustainable energy sources*. “The United Nations Panel on Climate Change emphasizes the need for sustainable energy sources and states that these changes have to happen in the next 20 to 30 years to meet these really critical timelines that we're looking at for irreconcilable climate change,” said, Garrett, a postdoctoral teaching fellow in environmental science at Baylor. “The term energyshed is still relatively new but has gained national attention for the benefit it offers in understanding the urban energy transitions that are already well underway,” Garrett said. “We need to lower the cost of renewable technologies for widespread adoption by society,” said McManamay, associate professor of environmental science at Baylor. “Our society is dependent upon the immediacy of electricity, and grid-scale energy storage is desperately needed to make a transition happen.”. Her research focuses on renewable energy transitions and the assessment of social, economic and environmental issues that affect those transitions.
