Doing so would address a glaring omission in the 2015 Paris accord, which never actually mentions coal, oil, or natural gas despite being an international agreement to stop global warming. Solar and wind power are already cheaper alternatives to coal, oil, and gas in most of the world when it comes to meeting new electricity demand.

Renewable solar and wind power now typically costs less than fossil-fuel alternatives. The second most important target for green power is replacing fossil fuel use in buildings, especially growing use of natural gas for heating; in Vancouver, British Columbia, that causes nearly 60% of the city’s carbon pollution.

And while the state’s 22-gigawatt wind power fleet has faced problems stemming from icing of wind turbine blades and relatively low wind conditions that have reduced its ability to contribute to the grid, the primary failure is from the state’s natural-gas, coal and nuclear generator fleet, according to ERCOT data.
