19] France spends just over half as much per kilowatt-hour for electricity that produces one-tenth of the carbon emissions of German electricity. [20] could reduce carbon emissions 42 percent and generate 70 percent of its electricity from carbon-free sources by 2030. trillion. [25] 18] Michael Greenstone et al.,
