WSJ: Can America Reach Its Clean Energy Goals? Here’s Where It Stands
December 27, 2023 The U.S. is making strides toward its clean energy goals, focusing on reducing reliance on fossil fuels through substantial investments in infrastructure and technology. Notably, the Biden administration aims for zero-emission vehicles to make up 50% of car sales by 2030, with electric vehicle (EV) sales currently representing around 10% of U.S. sales. Challenges remain, such as building a network of 500,000 public EV chargers by 2030 against the current backdrop of nearly 160,000. Despite progress in EV sales and the expansion of wind and solar energy production, fossil fuels continue to dominate the nation’s power supply. The transition to clean energy is a complex process requiring significant infrastructure developments and societal shifts in habits and routines. https://www.wsj.com/business/autos/green-energy-transition-charts-cff797c6
