Can we slash fossil fuel use by 80%—enough to dodge the worst of global warming—without upending our way of life? As an engineer concerned about climate change, I did not think this was realistically possible back in 2009 when we embarked on our journey. Now some 15 years into our journey I now believe this is absolutely true, as this talk and my book, “Driving to Net Zero - Stories of Hope for a Carbon-Free Future”, reveal. Picture a world where homes don’t just power themselves but also the cars around them—silently, cleanly, and endlessly, using a fuel that’s free from emissions, soot, and price spikes. Drawing from real-life examples, this discussion dives into how and why several households dramatically cut their carbon footprints.

Learning Objectives
At the successful conclusion of this course, you’ll be able to identify and discuss:- Learn what % of US emissions are attributed to households?
- Learn how the average US household uses power.
- How to logically look at one’s carbon footprint to make significant reductions.
- Review several case studies of households that have reduced their carbon footprints by 75% or more.
- Learn how rather than a sacrifice, there are many benefits, and cost savings to a low carbon lifestyle.
- Learn how one can use passive solar, electric vehicles, solar and energy efficiency to dramatically lower one’s energy costs and gain resilience.
