This Act seeks to aggressively combat climate change by establishing comprehensive standards for renewable energy and energy efficiency, alongside ambitious greenhouse gas emission reduction targets. It mandates a National Renewable Energy Standard requiring that by 2035, 100 percent of all retail electric energy sold in the United States must be generated from renewable sources, with annual increases beginning in 2026. This aims to stabilize greenhouse gas concentrations and prevent dangerous anthropogenic interference with the climate system, aligning with international climate goals. The bill also introduces a National Energy Efficiency Standard , directing the Secretary to set annual electricity and natural gas savings targets for retail suppliers. These targets, which are cumulative and increase annually from 2026 through 2032, must be achieved through end-use efficiency improvements, with a market-based trading system allowed for compliance. Additionally, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is directed to promulgate annual net emissions reduction targets to ensure a 52 percent reduction below 2005 levels by 2035 and achieve net-zero emissions by 2050. To ensure accountability and effectiveness, the EPA must, within seven years, finalize regulations to implement these net emissions reduction targets, reviewing and revising them every five years based on scientific reports. The bill mandates periodic reviews by the National Academies every five years to assess whether the established targets and policies are sufficient to avoid dangerous climate interference and to recommend further actions if needed. These regulations may include market-based measures, performance standards, and technology-based requirements, while explicitly preserving states' authority to implement their own climate actions.
