A Net Zero 'Explainer' from the Associated Press

December 11, 2020

More than 100 countries — responsible for about two-thirds of the world’s heat-trapping gases — have announced plans to cut their greenhouse gas emissions to “net zero” in coming decades to help curb man-made climate change.

The target has also been embraced by companies, states and cities wanting to help stop the planet from getting too hot for human comfort. China made a splash in September promising “carbon neutrality” by 2060, and U.S. President-elect Joe Biden has promised America would be there by 2050.

Going Green, Going toward NetZero Use of Energy


A zero-energy building, also known as a zero net energy (ZNE) building, net-zero energy building (NZEB), or net zero building, is a building with zero net energy consumption ...

The total amount of energy used by the building on an annual basis is roughly equal to the amount of renewable energy created on the site.

California and New Zealand as of 2019 'Out in Front' on Climate and Zero Net Energy Priorities

California out in front in a Green future

New Zealand: 'Role modelling for other countries'


Towards Net Zero]


Going Green, beginning in the early days of the modern environmental movement...


"I have a continuing commitment to specific programs and policies that reduce California’s dependence on foreign oil, increase the diversity and resilience of our energy supply and ease the impact of rising energy costs on California...

Making existing buildings more efficient is a large and quickly tapped energy source... New homes and new appliances must be energy efficient and affordable...

Wind energy can help us move away from reliance on oil. California should maintain its leadership in developing energy projects using bio-gas and agricultural wastes.

Solar energy has a wide range of cost-effective applications..."

-- Governor Jerry Brown, 1981 California Clean Energy Plan

Microsoft's Bill Gates Shares His Vision of a Future Energy Plan


Bill Gates Environmental Math and Getting to Zero CO2


In this video Bill Gates gives his speculation that there will be a massive innovation in energy consumption and energy production. Since this video is only two minutes long, go ahead and watch it now.


He proposes a very simple argument using this formula:

P * S * E * C = CO2

Where:

P = Number of People in the world

S = Services consumed per person

E = Energy consumed per service

C = CO2 Produced per unit energy.

CO2 = Total Global CO2 Production

GreenPolicy360 (.com/.net/.org, GreenLinks and associated social media sites) is an an online network of green best practices.

GreenPolicy360's online eOS expands best practice business concepts to distributive web sharing of successful green policies and practices.

Successful green models of initiatives, resolutions/laws/ordinances, data and project information is gathered and organized via keywords/categories/topics and locations.

Green best practices are easily searched, shared and networked.
