The U.S. is making deep cuts in its greenhouse gas emissions as clean energy booms — but not enough to hit the target it set under the Paris Climate Agreement, according to a new analysis from Rhodium, a research company that tracks U.S. progress toward its climate goals. Under the agreement, in which 194 countries pledged to limit global average rises in temperature to well below 2 degrees Celsius, the U.S. set a goal of reducing its emissions by at least 50% below 2005 levels by 2030.
The report assumes the pace will quicken, but to hit the upper end of Rhodium’s predictions for potential emissions reduction , the rate of added clean energy capacity would need to increase several times over. King said the renewable energy industry faces barriers that need to be smoothed out to get new projects built and operating more quickly.
