U.S. ↔ Princeton University

Relations (1)

cross_type 2.00 — strongly supporting 3 facts

Princeton University is related to the U.S. because it conducted research modeling the future of the U.S. electricity generation sector [1], estimated the costs for the U.S. to achieve a decarbonized energy supply [2], and projected the capacity requirements for the U.S. electrical grid to reach decarbonization by 2050 [3].

claimA Princeton University study modeled that total US electricity generation would more than double under all economy-wide decarbonization scenarios due to increased electrification of sectors like transportation.

measurementThe Princeton University study estimated that the US electrical grid would require between 500 and 1,000 gigawatts (GW) of low-carbon firm generating capacity to reach decarbonization by 2050.

claimThe Princeton University study's estimated lowest overall cost scenario for the US to reach a decarbonized energy supply by mid-century involves a substantial nuclear build program requiring over $1 trillion in investment.
