Reducing Carbon Emissions
The Princeton Wedges
1 Wedge = 1b tons carbon in 10 yrs.
• Cut VMT from 10k to 5k miles/year for 2billion cars
• Double fuel economy for 2b cars• Geologic carbon storage (CCS)
3,500 times Sleipner• No tropical deforestation• Conservation tillage on all crop land
• Cut emissions 1/4for ALL buildings & appliances
• Install 50 times current global wind capacity while replacing coal
• Install 700 times current solar power
What will it take to get the job done?
