New & exhaustive engineering analysis charts out exactly how much the USA can decarbonize by 2035: 70-90% of the 4 main sectors. That effort also happens to create 25 million new jobs & saves U.S. households $2k/yr. fastcompany.com/90533448/how… @otherlab @adlaskey #RewiringAmerica

How to create 25 million jobs by decarbonizing the economy

A new plan shows how the U.S. could massively mobilize to hit the Paris climate goals by building up the power grid with renewable energy to support a newly electrified economy.
