As America advances towards a sustainable future, transformative legislation like the Inflation Reduction Act is making clean energy more accessible, fueling a 42% investment surge to $225 billion. Yet, with the 2050 net-zero goal looming, the pace must quicken. Jesse Jenkins of Princeton University steps into this pivotal moment with a roadmap presented at Intersolar NA. His keynote cuts through complexity, offering strategies to shift from fossil fuels to renewables like wind and solar, crucial for powering 70% of our energy needs. Jenkins emphasizes ramping up renewable capacity and grid expansion as key steps towards a fully electrified, net-zero America.

Jesse's strategy unfolds with:

⚡️ A deep dive into expanding solar and wind capacities to new heights by the 2030s.
⚡️ The critical need for 75,000 miles of new high-voltage transmission to strengthen the grid.
⚡️ Tactics for eliminating coal use while capitalizing on zero-emission sources for stable power.
⚡️ A glimpse at the next generation of clean technologies ready to scale in the coming years.
⚡️ Methods to boost grid adaptability through innovative storage and demand response technologies.

Jesse Jenkins's presentation delivers a practical, step-by-step roadmap for shifting America towards sustainable electricity, focusing on renewable energy growth and grid improvements, serving as a vital resource for anyone dedicated to the decarbonization mission of the U.S.
