Apple, Google and Coca-Cola among 300-plus companies pushing Biden for 50% emissions cut as soon as 2030

More than 300 businesses and investors, including tech giants and major utilities, are calling on the Biden administration to set an ambitious climate-change goal that would cut U.S. greenhouse gas emissions by at least 50% below 2005 levels by 2030.

That target would nearly double the U.S.’s previous commitment on emissions reduction and the time horizon would require dramatic changes in the power and transportation sectors and elsewhere throughout the economy, analysts say.
