UCS is urging the United States and other rich countries, together with additional contributors in a position to provide funding, to commit to a collective goal of $1 trillion annually starting in 2025. Numerous scientific reports (see below) show that nations are falling far short of what is needed to meet the goals of the Paris Agreement.

In this case, the bills would allow states to secure funds from fossil fuel companies for the costs of adaptation, mitigation, and cleanup of damages caused by their emissions. The bill would enact a Polluters Pay Climate Superfund Act of 2025 which would establish the Polluters Pay Climate Superfund Program.

So now it’s time to think seriously about what amount of energy storage the state may need to complement renewable energy resources that are coming onto the grid to replace fossil fuel plants. 2025 is also a pivotal year for CEJA implementation in Illinois.

Currently, plastics drive at least 3-4% of global greenhouse gas emissions and are the fastest-growing demand for fossil fuels. It is estimated that if plastic use keeps growing at the current rate, then by 2050, plastics will drive 20% of global oil demandmore per person than used to fuel our cars.

To underscore the negative impacts of fossil fuels on our grid, I also pointed to key research around resilience. With a robust climate plan, Wisconsin utilities would have to look beyond their legacy preference for fossil fuels and consider cleaner, cheaper, and more reliable alternatives.
