Reality Check: Electricity Load Growth Does Not Have to Undermine Climate Goals

1. Reality Check by the Rocky-Mountain Institute for the USA. From the concluding paragraph:

   >We can’t let gloomy coverage of the challenges facing the US grid blind us to the steps we can take to achieve a brighter future. We have the technologies we need and critical policy tools to scale their deployment. It is not electricity load growth that is threatening our climate goals, but the business-as-usual responses to potential load growth that both threaten our climate goals and fail to prepare our energy systems for the deeper energy investments that are already on the way.
