By clearing out stalled “zombie” projects, hundreds are now on track to power homes before 2030. Experts warn, however, that hitting the 95% zero-carbon target may be too ambitious—83% by 2030 might be more realistic, pushing full attainment to 2035. Still, renewables are surging: gas still covers 27% of power, but by decade’s end, clean sources will supply over 70%. This shift boosts energy security and shields households from volatile gas prices, delivering major climate wins even if the 2030 deadline slips.
