GM is all about clean energy, and its present pledge to power its US facilities with only renewable sources will become a reality in 2025, denouncing traditional energy for its future. Initially, the company plans to change its power source by 2030, and the company aims to deliver this by the end of the decade.
However, its recent announcement speeds up the process by five years earlier than its target date, and it will save more energy use and avoid more carbon emissions for its part in helping the planet.

General Motors announced in a press statement that by 2025, its goal to change its renewable technology towards clean energy is happening, and it will be ready in less than three years from now. The company already secured its needs towards transforming its US plants to using clean energy only, with its integration to take place soon.
GM first announced these plans and targeted 2030 for the switch to clean energy, but it seems like their preparations and goals see an earlier date for this change.
According to Engadget, GM's clean energy portfolio already delivers on sourcing agreements regarding 16 renewable energy plants in ten states across the country.

GM to Save 1M Metric Tons of Carbon Emissions
GM's clean energy plans got an acceleration for its rigorous preparation process, and it centers on the company's partnerships and suppliers that will help transform its production plants. With the earlier launch of its clean energy facilities, GM would be able to save as much as one million metric tons of carbon emissions, compared to its switch in 2030.
GM and its Pledge to Clean Energy
General Motors is more than an automotive company now, as it centers on more clean energy for the company that will deliver different products which focus on alternative and renewable power sources. For the longest time now, GM has been putting massive funds into its electric vehicle production, centering on billion-dollar investments towards the cause.
It might seem that GM is just another company that is trying to compete against the industry giants in the market, but its actions show otherwise, especially with its many ventures toward sustainability.
One of GM's many ventures is to accelerate the United States' battery supply for vehicles and other uses, centering on the plants that it will erect in the country to support its plans. Its California plans will deliver on Lithium supply among many things, supporting the country's focus towards clean energy as evidenced by President Joe Biden's campaign.
Now, GM is aiming to be a global leader in clean energy, alongside its decarbonization of plants with its US facilities, which from 2025, will only be using clean energy to power it. GM laid out its goals and plans for the future, and it is not waiting until the 2030 deadline to do it, helping the planet in its quest to save the environment.
