Heating and cooling is the biggest driver of energy use in homes and commercial buildings. Technology and building design can help keep us comfortable while reducing the impact of that energy use on the climate.| MIT Climate Portal
Wind energy is a form of carbon-free, renewable energy, which today makes electricity at a lower average cost than any other form of new-built energy.| MIT Climate Portal
Solar energy is a form of carbon-free, renewable energy, in which sunlight is turned into electricity, heat, or other forms of energy we can use.| MIT Climate Portal
Electric vehicles are a cleaner alternative to gasoline- or diesel-powered cars and trucks—both in terms of harmful air pollution, and the greenhouse gas emissions that are causing climate change.| MIT Climate Portal
The electric grid is a network of power lines and other infrastructure that moves electricity from power plants to our homes and businesses—and its design affects our options for building a clean energy system.| MIT Climate Portal
