The emergence of environmental buzzwords started out with global warming, then became climate change. Global warming to climate change; climate change covers a broader term and now special interest groups can use it for any situation, as we have recently seen with the fires in Western Canada and now Australia.

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.
