'Real zero' | US power giant NextEra vows no trees or offsets in emissions-free push

Electric utility and renewables pacesetter NextEra Energy unveiled a “real zero” goal to eliminate CO₂ emissions from its operations and purchased power by 2045 without use of carbon capture or offsets, the first such commitment by a major US energy producer.

To get there, NextEra plans an unprecedented expansion of clean energy development by a single company at both its Florida Power and Light (FPL) and Energy Resources subsidiaries, the nation’s largest solar and wind energy generator.
