Home - 2035 The Report
The 2035 Report from UC Berkeley uses the latest low renewable energy costs to show how the U.S. can reach 90% clean electricity by 2035.

I've read through some of the materials on this link and find it interesting. Although it's from University of California-Berkeley, supposedly a top-tier public policy thinktank, I'm not convinced the climate impacts of gasoline powered engines will be catastrophic if we fail to switch away from gas powered vehicles to total electric by 2035.
Air pollution is real and causes health problems particularly in big cities, but the switch to totally electric cars is currently cost prohibitive for most families. Even a proposed tax credit to offset some of the higher costs isn't enough to be economically feasable. It's a catch 22. We need cleaner air, but at what cost can we afford it?
