The reason it’s considered a solution is that plants suck up carbon from the air while they grow. When we turn them into fuels and burn them, no new carbon is added to the atmosphere —the whole cycle is considered “carbon neutral.” But critics say biofuels’ carbon-neutrality is a mirage.

Over the past three years, some of the country’s biggest utilities have been committing to a goal that few may have predicted they’d undertake on their own: weaning themselves off carbon-emitting generation by 2050. Utilities in many states now face mandates to move to 100 percent renewable energy or cut carbon to zero by 2050.
