100% By 2035? 90% Might Be Better: Consider The Opportunity Costs

August 31st, 2020 | by Brad Rouse

I would love to have 100% clean electricity by 2035. Such a goal is admirable for its audacity and for its ability to get people motivated. For that I applaud it. But when we get down to it, will it be smart policy? Could it be that 90% would provide greater carbon savings than 100%?
