In recent years, the US electric power sector’s historical reliance on coal-fired power plants has begun to decline. Emissions per capita fall by an average of 1% per year from 2005 to 2035, as growth in demand for transportation fuels is moderated by higher energy prices and Federal fuel economy standards.

We share those questions, particularly given that ~95% of hydrogen is currently produced from methane, which means it’s a lot dirtier to fill up on hydrogen than on CA grid electricity (which is generated from ~54% non-polluting sources ). But all of that is a long way off.

In the US, a combination of demand reduction and displacement of coal-fired power by gas-fired generation is the lowest cost way to reduce CO 2 emissions by up to 50%. At least for the near term, that would entail facilitating energy demand reduction and displacement of some coal generation with natural gas.

Jenkins: We must at least be able to speak to society’s concerns, beyond just “Do the lights stay on?” The second reason is that the grid we have is built out to places where there were coal mines and hydropower dams, not where there’s the best wind and sun.
