This needs to happen fast, with coal phased out no later than 2030 and gas not far behind. Once this largest source of carbon emissions is greened up, the second-largest, transportation, can tap renewable energy via electric vehicles. France built nuclear power. Iceland tapped geothermal. The US ultimately found fracking.

The primary culprits behind coal’s decline are competition from cheap natural gas brought on by the shale gas boom in the U.S., as well as a surge of renewable capacity aided by legislation aimed at curbing carbon dioxide emissions. But the natural gas and subsequent oil boom were victims of their own success.

New technology is making carbon emission-free pink H2 possible at a very large scale. The US Department of Energy (DOE) is placing a major focus on nuclear hydrogen as a component of the US government’s proposed $7 billion push for clean H2 production. That said, no carbon emissions are produced along with those usable outputs.
