A divided Michigan House passes legislation requiring utilities to draw 100 percent of their energy from clean sources by 2040. That's a later timeline than environmentalists had sought — and foes say it will raise rates — but many say the reform is overdue.
I’m sure governments will treat this with as much urgency as they’ve been the past 2 decades or so. Whatever they’re planning, it’s not happening fast enough and with the biggest offenders not even approaching the table to discuss a solution, I’m not optimistic 2040 is feasible.
It might be, but i don’t think this bill lncludes revoking the corporate charter of Shell, Exon, and BP so the govemrnt can put thier assets into a nationalised non profit trust for as long as it takes to dismantle oil demand. Anything short of that, and well a few hundred billion dollars of lobbying can go a long way to making things non urgent.
The final deadline is 2040. It means steady decarbonization between now and then, not “do nothing, then suddenly switch”
