An E3 team led by Chief Scientist Jim Williams, along with collaborators at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, has published a landmark study of the energy future in the prestigious journal Science. Using California as a case study, the paper provides a detailed assessment of the technology, infrastructure, and cost requirements to deeply reduce greenhouse gas emissions by the year 2050. The study emphasizes the pivotal role of electricity in the transition to a low-carbon economy.
