Duke Energy announced a new climate strategy Tuesday, saying it would accelerate carbon reduction goals and hope to hit "net zero carbon emissions" by 2050. The new plan would cut carbon emissions from one of the country's largest electric utilities by at least 50 percent by 2030, compared with 2005 levels. Getting to "net zero" would rely on new technologies that don't all exist, potentially including carbon capture, as well as a continued move from coal to natural gas.
