At AWS, we share these concerns and are committed to being responsible partners in grid development and energy consumption. We've demonstrated this commitment through our Climate Pledge goal of reaching net-zero carbon emissions by 2040. In 2007, Google committed to carbon neutrality in its operations.

On January 26, the Minnesota House of Representatives passed House File 7 —the 100% Clean Energy Bill. Now it’s on to the state Senate, where the question is: Will this be the year Minnesota sets a path toward 100-percent carbon-free electricity? Removing trash burners’ ability to qualify as “renewable energy” facilities.

They have caused electricity prices to rise 50 percent in Germany since 2007, the first year it got more than 10 percent of its power from subsidized wind, solar, and biomass. As such, there has long been a debate over how much more we should pay for energy to reduce climate change.

The shift helped the United States to drop its share of fossil fuels in the energy mix from 67 percent in 2015 to 59 percent last year. The shift, combined with the huge shift from ultra-dirty goal to more-moderately dirty gas helped cut our power sector carbon dioxide emissions by 41 percent from a peak in 2007.

Last month, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) proposed new power plant carbon pollution standards that, if strengthened, would go a long way to help meet the Biden administration’s goal of slashing carbon emissions in half from 2005 levels by the end of this decade. EN: First, why are these new standards such a big deal?

In my retelling of the show, I quickly pointed out that the UN Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change had by then concluded that “most” of the increase in average global temperatures since 1950 was “very likely” due to the increase in human-made carbon emissions. ExxonMobil is still funding those folks, big time.”

EPA’s power to regulate greenhouse gases, established in litigation in 2007, now seems beyond question. Emissions standards for new cars temporarily stalled under Trump but are nonetheless much tighter than they were before Obama. Perhaps most importantly, the federal government has invested billions of dollars in clean energy.

Today, the Supreme Court decided its most important environmental case since 2007. Chief Justice Roberts’s majority opinion leaves EPA other options to reduce carbon emissions from coal-fired power plants. We didn’t dodge the bullet. It’s more than a flesh wound but it didn’t hit any vital organs.
