Tackling Climate Change in the U.S.: Potential Carbon Emissions Reductions from Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy by 2030

>> ASES unveils a roadmap for dramatically reducing the nation's global warming emissions.

>> "The 200-page report - Tackling Climate Change in the U.S - is the culmination of this effort.

>> The results show that we have a variety of promising means available to battle global warming. They indicate that energy efficiency measures can prevent our carbon emissions from growing over the next 23 years, even as our economy grows. The six renewable technologies have the potential to make the kind of deep cuts needed in our carbon emissions. Of the total carbon reductions possible, 57% are due to energy efficiency and 43% are from renewables."

Chuck Kutscher, announcing the release of Tackling Climate Change.
