Combined, the power and thermal industrial sectors were responsible for 2.7 billion tons of CO2 emissions in 2018. Those are 2.7 billion tons per year of emissions that need to be gone by midcentury if we stand a chance of fighting the #climatecrisis. — PolitiTweet.org

So how do we eliminate those emissions? Simple. Each year @EPA establishes two standards (one for electricity and one for thermal energy) in terms of emissions per unit of energy. Anyone who emits more than the standard has to pay someone who emits less. — PolitiTweet.org
