Joe Biden may have called for 100% clean power in the United States by 2035, but he didn't set a clear path to get there. To reach the 80x30 goal, the US power grid would need to add between 60 and 80 GW of new clean power every year (double the record 35 GW of renewables added in 2020). It may seem daunting.
