The Path to Carbon Neutrality in U.S. Focusing on Energy Sector

Abstract

One of the most important things for human is energy. Literally every physical action by machines requires energy consumption. With the increase of energy consumption, relying solely on fossil fuels is not the right method because fossil fuels have a finite amount, and they are also the main cause of global warming. Therefore, using renewable energies is the best solution. The United States (U.S.) is one of the largest and powerful country worldwide, so the prospects of renewable energies in U.S. can have a great influence in global renewable energies. After full-scaled research and analysis on U.S. renewable energies, two of the most suitable renewable energies for U.S. are nuclear energy and wind energy, which can replace fossil fuels on a large scale. Although both energy sources have their shortages, they are the most applicable solution to achieve carbon neutrality, and they both have a bright future in the U.S.
