Utah unveils its new energy plan, which calls for a review of the process that established a clean energy goal back in 2008.
“As we approach 2025, we believe it is time to reevaluate this 2008 goal,” the report says. ““Many states have pursued these objectives through legislative action while others have done so by executive order. We are committed to the best process in order to be successful, which we believe to be a collaborative solution that includes the legislative branch,” it adds.
When a draft plan was released in March, it listed five top-level commitments, building on Utah’s philosophy that the state should foster energy choices for the market to decide rather than make strategic decisions to concentrate on certain technologies.• Supporting rural communities that must diversify away from fossil fuels.
• “Utah is committed to pragmatic, market-driven climate solutions that enable innovative energy production. This includes a focus on supporting Utah-based research and development, ensuring we stay good stewards of our environment for future generations of Utahns.” “No doubt the future is lower carbon,” said Nelson, whose company is one of the largest refiners of fossil fuels in the world. He said Chevron is setting its own goals around decarbonization, adding that cleaner fuels under development may be able to compete with electric vehicles as a clean transportation option.
