wide transmission build-out could also slash the costs of reaching a zero-carbon grid with wind, solar and battery technologies that are cost-effective today. In this scenario, a zero-carbon electricity system would drive wholesale power costs of about $90 per megawatt-hour on average. trillion pathway to a zero-carbon U.S.

A sudden collapse of the industry - called a carbon crunch - could lead to economic disaster of epic proportions. Carbon Tracker states that the world is “witnessing the decline and fall of the fossil fuel system”. According to McKinsey , oil and gas will remain a multi-trillion-dollar market for decades under most scenarios.
