> Decarbonizing the power grid by 2035 could total $330 billion to $740 billion in additional power system costs, depending on restrictions on new transmission and other infrastructure development. However, there is substantial reduction in petroleum use in transportation and natural gas in buildings and industry by 2035. As a result, up to 130,000 premature deaths are avoided by 2035, which could save between $390 billion to $400 billion.


Good to see this kind of analysis, too damned bad it wasn't around 10 years ago.

For some reason we humans like to get real close to the edge so we can see how far down it is.
