DESCRIPTION:As people around the world face undeniable climate impacts and 
 sobering risks to their future health and livelihoods\, California’s pol
 icy to achieve carbon neutrality by 2045 can be a model for other states a
 nd nations. However\, success requires unprecedented innovation and coordi
 nation across planning\, policy and technology. Significant electrificatio
 n — powered by clean generation and enabled by an unparalleled expansion
  of the electric grid — is necessary to decarbonize the economy feasibly
  and affordably. Achieving this requires urgent and fundamental changes in
  how the state’s entire energy infrastructure is planned and built.\n\nT
 he key findings that describe Countdown to 2045’s solution for Californi
 a include: 90% of light- and medium- duty and over 50% of heavy-duty vehic
 les are electric\, 95% of residential and commercial space and water heati
 ng is electric\, up to 15% of utility-scale generation is from new and eme
 rging technologies\, such as offshore wind and next generation geothermal 
 DERs\, and new transmission and distribution grid projects added at up to 
 4x and 10x their historical rates\, respectively.\n\nSuggested Read-Ahead:
