"California will have to deploy renewable power at record-breaking speed over the next few decades to meet its target for carbon-free electricity by 2045, a transformation that state agencies say in a new report this week is technically achievable but immensely challenging."

Marcus Lee writes on The Washington Examiner that fossil fuels still have a role to play in the low carbon future. “As we rightly move toward decarbonization to address the climate crisis, it would be a mistake to ignore the valuable contributions that hydrocarbons will play in helping us achieve this goal.
