US fossil fuel GHG emissions aren’t required to fall until 2030 under ACESA

The American Clean Energy and Security Act (ACESA) aims, in part via a cap on US greenhouse gas emissions from fossil fuels, to set the United States on a path towards a clean energy future. This path has been projected to lead to the creation of many new jobs and important new industries within the US. One aspiration of the ACESA is that by leading the way on climate and clean energy, the US can own and export these key technologies to the rest of the world.
