CLIMATE:
A Road Map for U.S. Carbon Reductions

Joseph Romm, Mark Levine, Marilyn Brown, and Eric Petersen

Upon ratification, the Kyoto climate treaty would require substantial reductions in U.S. carbon emissions by 2008-2012. This paper provides a technology and policy road map for achieving such reductions at low net cost to the nation. It is based on the results of a recent study by five national laboratories.
