The Electric Power Research Institute’s report titled ‘Net-Zero 2050: U.S. Economy-Wide Deep Decarbonization Scenario Analysis'” issued in September 2022:
“Today the United States derives 84% of its primary energy from fossil fuels. In the net-zero scenarios, between 9% and 53% remains fossil-based by 2050….”
No amount of wind turbines, solar panels, hydropower, nuclear power, battery power, electrification of fossil-fuel technologies or energy-efficiency technologies will get us to net zero by 2050.”
