2050 simulation puts you in control Want to take the big decisions about the nation’s energy future - specifically about the choices we face when it comes to moving to a secure, low carbon economy? A new on-line simulation tool, My2050, from the Department of Energy and Climate Change allows you to explore, but not take decisions on, exactly these matters. Whether you want to build more nuclear power stations, move everyone to electric cars, or put solar panels on every roof, the choice is yours as long as you can hit the 2050 target to reduce carbon emissions by 80% while keeping the lights on. In addition to launching the My2050 simulation, the government has also updated its more technical counterpart, the 2050 Calculator, which gives a more detailed look at the UK’s energy and emissions system based on the physical and technical limits of different technologies across the supply and demand side.
