The biggest takeaway : without robust new policies, US energy sector heat trapping emissions will continue to remain high, far off-track from where we need to be to meet our climate goals. CO 2 emissions remain mostly level through 2050—nowhere close to meeting US climate goals. Carbon emissions remain high.

Earlier this year, the MPSC approved a settlement agreement on Consumers Energy’s integrated resource plan that commits the company to retire all its remaining coal-fired power plants by 2025, construct no new fossil gas infrastructure, and build large amounts of new solar power between now and 2040. What’s in DTE’s proposed plan?

In the case of climate change, there is unequal access to the knowledge, technology, and finances that would help to combat it. Keeping with the topic of climate change, one part of the inequality is evident and it’s the discussion about carbon debt. In other words, most people are lowering their carbon emissions.
