The General Services Administration is doubling down on its efforts to slash greenhouse gas emissions from federal buildings with recent announcements aimed at both procuring carbon-free energy and testing out new energy-efficient, low-carbon technologies.

The OPC petition also warns of the possibility of a gas utility "death spiral" as customers electrify their homes and drop off the system, leaving a diminishing base of customers to cover system costs through higher rates.

Pennsylvania will use its $396.1 million Climate Pollution Reduction Grant on a statewide initiative to cut greenhouse gas emissions from industrial buildings through incentives for energy efficiency and emission-reduction technologies.

Google's 2023 emissions totaled the equivalent of 14.3 million tons of carbon dioxide, a 48% increase over 2019. It expects further increases before dropping to its emission reduction target of net zero by 2030.

Artificial intelligence may be driving new energy demand from hyperscale data centers, but it could also help find new solutions to meet that demand.

Maryland Gov. Wes Moore (D) signed a sweeping executive order calling for the state to establish a zero-emission heating equipment standard and a new clean heat standard to be added to the state’s Renewable Portfolio Standard.

The burgeoning power demand from data centers and artificial intelligence can be met by other means than new natural gas-fired power plants, according to a new report from the Electric Power Research Institute.
