Do you want to secure an awesome planet with a great quality of life for you and 10 billion of your closest friends, and your descendents in perpetuity? Then you want to solve climate change. Which means you need to figure out how we can transition our economy to work on net zero (and beyond) carbon emissions.
This is quite a challenge! And most people are pretty vague about how exactly we can do that.
To get beyond the slogans and the assertions and the noise, we've come up with the "First Gigawatt Down" metric that is super clarifying and illuminating for any given energy supply solution. In Part I, we defined the metric. In this video - Part II, we look at examples of how to achieve a First Gigawatt Down using various solutions in New Jersey and New York.
Get ready for Climate Solutions like you’ve never seen them before. Sobering, annoying, inspiring, playful.
Are you ready to race to zero carbon? Do you have what it takes to move your team to get a first gigawatt down in your preferred play? And then get the rest of the Gigawatts all the way to a Zero Carbon Touchdown?
Join the campaign! The sooner everyone adopts this metric, the sooner we'll have a clear, actionable, shared understanding of what it's going to take, and the sooner we'll get it done. #ToZeroCarbonAndBeyond!
This metric is just the beginning.
