Electricity is too expensive. Here are three ways to fix that.
Lawmakers nationwide can lower power bills by cutting utility profits, rewarding the companies for boosting efficiency, and unleashing solar and storage.

🌏🌍🌍 Good news and bad news. We're cutting emissions. But 12% is *far* short of the 60% needed to avoid #ClimateDisaster.
Latest U.N. analysis shows climate pledges cutting emissions by 12%
The yearly amount of planet-warming gases added to the atmosphere will decrease 12% by 2035 from 2019 levels, according to a new analysis published Monday by the U.N. climate change secretariat (UNFCCC).

Wild. They are figuring out how to store electricity in ... concrete.
Concrete “battery” developed at MIT now packs 10 times the power
New concrete and carbon black supercapacitors with optimized electrolytes have 10 times the energy storage of previous designs and can be incorporated into a wide range of architectural forms.

In today's Emissions Gap Report we are going to learn that emissions should have fallen by 35% come 2035 if we are to remain below 2ºC

That means for 10yrs emissions need to fall by ~4.2% EVERY yr

I think we will hear little about the 2030 target ~7% EVERY yr. until 2030
