The world has a viable pathway to building a global energy sector with net-zero emissions in 2050, but it is narrow and requires an unprecedented transformation of how energy is produced, transported and used globally, according to a new special report from the International Energy Agency (IEA).

The committee was formed last year to coordinate the organization’s response to the global crisis. About one-third of emissions globally are produced through electricity generation, and Rahman said his mission is to help reduce that amount through engineering solutions. One type is the ultrasupercritical coal-fired steam power plant.

Lutz is a man given to hyperbole — called global warming "a crock of shit" — but in this case, hes right. Ive found it facinating how car commercials changed the main MPG number they promoted before gas went over $4 a gallon as city miles. Going from 12MPG to 15.8MPG saves more gas than going from 50MPG to 500MPG.
