WASHINGTON — Google and other companies will fail to meet ambitious climate targets unless legislation and regulations are quickly approved and imposed that ramp up demand for cleaner forms of energy, the tech giant said in a new policy statement.
The road to fulfilling some of the policy provisions by unlocking carbon-free electricity’s development and access in the U.S. may run uphill if the Senate is unable to reach consensus on parts of the House-passed $2.2 trillion climate and safety net budget reconciliation package , which has been left on the back burner since February, it said.
In a document released Thursday, the Alphabet Inc. subsidiary said more policies to help drive down the costs of a broad range of carbon-free technologies and related infrastructure are needed to ensure companies can meet decarbonization goals.
