It feels almost quaint to remember way back when "80 by 50" — an 80 percent reduction in greenhouse gas emissions by 2050 — was a bold goal for a company or government entity to make. The "way back when" in this case seems to be around 2014. It was seen by many as audacious, possibly unachievable, but still a necessary target.
