Extreme heat targets the most vulnerable
Extreme heat is particularly dangerous for disadvantaged communities. Our latest climate modeling shows how it will intensify and offers strategies to help communities prepare for, withstand, and recover from the heat.
Renewables could rise to 85% of US energy generation by 2050
What share of low- or zero-carbon power would it take to put the U.S. on a path to achieve its decarbonization goals?

New modeling shows that the United States might need to increase renewables to at least 85% of energy generation to reach net zero. While renewable energy generation would need to increase significantly over time, the sun isn’t always shining and the wind isn’t always blowing. To create a balanced, reliable supply of electricity, energy storage from sources such as batteries would also need to rise.
Explore our new report that leverages our climate modeling technology to show how the U.S. could reach its decarbonization goals.
