The report concludes that while CCS can play an important role in domestic greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions reductions thereby preserving the option of using coal and other abundant domestic fossil energy resources, it faces a key barrier in the lack of a price on carbon.

The United States has been a net importer of energy since the 1950s. In cases with the highest supply and lowest demand outlooks, the United States becomes a significant net exporter of energy. The United States transitions from being a net importer of natural gas to a net exporter by 2017 in all cases.

Jenkins has also helped push Congress to think more seriously about the power grid, releasing a report last year that showed that much of the 43 percent emissions reduction expected by 2030 would be squandered if the United States doesn’t double the pace of transmission upgrades. You need a bigger grid to supply that electricity.

With less than eight years for the United States to meet the objective of a 50-percent reduction in greenhouse gas emissions , many environmental advocacy groups argue that an even faster transition to EVs is mandatory. A coordinated effort by US policy makers is all that is preventing this happening, the report states.

President Joe Biden is expected to pledge to halve the United States’ emission of greenhouse gases by 2030 on Thursday. The plan will be set forward by monumental changes in the United States’ infrastructure, including transportation and energy, which have long been dominated by oil, coal, and other fossil fuels.

The high cost of manufacturing the Volt is exactly why the tax credits of $2500 for a vehicle with 4 kWh of battery capacity and $417 for every kWh over 4 (so that there is a $7500 credit for the Volt) were legislated. So the Volt would cost $32,500–not so much more than what people are reportedly paying for the Prius.
