When President Obama conceived of the New Energy Economy in 2009, the opposition labeled it as radical — something that would bankrupt the country for an amorphous goal. But since 2005, the United States has reduced its annual energy-related CO2 levels by 14% while its economy has grown by 28%.

Public policies are encouraging investment in clean energy alternatives, prompting utilities to buy solar-and-wind-powered electricity — fuels that have dropped precipitously in price and that are now increasingly economic.

The U.S. wants to expand its offshore wind capacity to 30 gigawatts by 2030, a move the Biden administration hopes will generate thousands of jobs and unlock billions of dollars in investment in coming years.

The target, announced by the Departments of Energy, Interior and Commerce on Monday, represents a significant ramp-up of America’s fledgling offshore wind industry, which trails other parts of the world.

The Biden administration announced Thursday an effort to slash the cost of solar energy by 60% within the next decade, a feat officials said was essential to achieving the president’s goal of 100% clean energy by 2035.

The solar goal, being implemented by the Energy Department, calls for reducing utility-scale solar energy’s current cost of 4.6 cents per kilowatt-hour to 3 cents by 2025 and 2 cents by 2030.

Elon Musk says the No. 1 way to decrease carbon dioxide emissions would be to levy a tax on carbon.

“My top recommendation, honestly, would be just add a carbon tax,” Musk told Joe Rogan on The Joe Rogan Experience podcast on Thursday. “The economy works great. Prices and money are just information. … If the price is wrong, the economy doesn’t do the right thing.”

Currently, there is no direct monetary consequence for businesses and industries whose production releases greenhouse gasses into the atmosphere; in other words, it is free to create green house gasses, the most common and pervasive of which is carbon dioxide.
