New analysis for The Nature Conservancy in partnership with AECOM reveals decarbonization initiatives would generate significant benefits to Florida's economy 🌱 📈 Our report uses our state-level macroeconomic model E3-US to quantify the economic impacts of multi-sector decarbonization pathways in Florida, including transitioning away from fossil fuel-based electric power generation. We estimate that by 2050, decarbonization initiatives could decrease the cost of electricity for consumers by around 17% and result in a state economy that is 2% larger.

“Through these transformative investments, rural and remote communities from coast to coast are able to map a clean energy future that revitalizes local economies and cuts the pollution that is fueling the climate crisis and driving environmental injustice.” U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) has announced $78 million to support 19 clean energy projects in rural communities throughout the U.S. Projects like these are vital to ensure that underserved communities don’t get left behind during the clean energy transition. https://lnkd.in/gkeS6Hrx

Local governments & city leaders are playing a primary role in the fight for resiliency as increasing extreme weather-related issues wreaking havoc on local economies, its residents, and infrastructure. By increasing energy efficiency in our buildings and training facility operators to properly manage these energy-consuming structures, can lead to more sustainable, efficient, and cost-effective public infrastructure.

Emily Grubert, Associate Professor at the Keough School of Global Affairs at University of Notre Dame, recently provided compelling insights on the complexities of permitting reform and the broader challenges in transitioning to renewable energy. She emphasized that while permitting reform is necessary, the current proposals too often prioritize fossil fuel projects and diminish public participation, which poses significant risks to achieving true climate justice. According to Emily, we need a permitting process that doesn't just speed approvals but ensures that only projects aligned with long-term climate goals and community benefits move forward. Emily also highlighted the urgency of scaling the energy infrastructure five to eight times its current size to meet future demands. But she pointed out that locking renewable energy progress to the fate of fossil fuel infrastructure undermines the progress needed for a sustainable energy transition. Her concerns extend to how limited resources, such as carbon dioxide removal, could be monopolized by for-profit interests, leaving less capacity for essential mitigation efforts in sectors that can't be easily decarbonized. Her reflections serve as a reminder that achieving net zero requires not only technological advancements but also an inclusive, just, and strategic approach to infrastructure development. A true commitment to reform means balancing the urgency of building new energy systems with the need to ensure long-term sustainability and equity for all communities involved. #EnergyTransition #PermittingReform #ClimateJustice #RenewableEnergy #Sustainability #Infrastructure #GlobalEnergy #Runh
