Setup
Businesses, governments, and utilities are setting ambitious targets to shift the electric sector to “clean” power. But all claims and actions are not equal, and the intricacies of these differences are not well understood. This discussion will explore the range of ways these actors are making progress on decarbonization — from offsetting carbon generation with renewable energy credits to the actual delivery and consumption of carbon-free energy — and asking the leaders of these efforts, what’s the best path to net zero, and how quickly can we get there?
