Renewable energy technologies could generate 40% of the world’s electricity by 2050, according to research presented at the International Scientific Congress “Climate Change: Global Risks, Challenges & Decisions”. More specifically, Germany has more than doubled its share of renewable energy since 2000.

SLCPs are a category of pollutants which remain in the atmosphere for a relatively brief period, but have global warming potentials that are much higher than those of CO 2. SLCPs may account for an estimated 40% of global warming, increasing the impacts of climate change.

In the US alone, oil reserves have expanded 59% between 2000 and 2014, and natural gas reserves have expanded 94% in the same time. All told, global consumption of fossil fuels rose significantly from 2005 through 2014: about 7.5% The last several decades have seen limited global progress in tackling these policy problems.

One of the things that EV owners know is that if you're going to take a trip, pull your phone and tell the car, 15 or 30 minutes before you start, hey, warm up your battery, pre-condition the cabin and do it on grid power so you have a full battery. You have to do it on a global scale. Globally, we have now 1.4 in 2000 to 0.7

I went and spoke to their City Council and said “For $50,000 a house I’ll put in solar AND battery systems and take you off the grid. If you’re going to do it, take the homes off the grid. That’s pretty mean to the rest of the grid. When I got back from Japan in 2000 I didn’t want to start a computer business.

Can advanced semiconductors cut emissions of greenhouse gases enough to make a difference in the struggle to halt climate change? Such a change is actually well underway. The semiconductor first established itself commercially in 2000 in the markets for light-emitting diodes and semiconductor lasers.

Lutz is a man given to hyperbole — called global warming "a crock of shit" — but in this case, hes right. We are facing a big problem with global warming. Notice in [link] that GM carefully avoids claiming to reduce CO2 by shifting to the grid, but leads people off the track by focusing on smog related issues.
