Mark Jacobson of Stanford and his colleagues have created a road map for how the nations of the world can transition to 100% renewable energy quickly and safely. Are his ideas realistic?
There are about 276.1 million cars in the USA in 2018. 77 million of them or about 28% could be fully powered by wind generation alone if they were electric and used full time.
Almost all existing fossil fuel and nuclear generation assets are coming to end-of-life by 2050. They will have to be replaced. Academic studies show clearly that renewables will replace them close to 100% of the time.
A group of 67 scientists have penned an open letter to the US Department of the Interior calling on the government to end coal leasing on public lands in an effort to protect the climate, public health, and biodiversity. “We are scientists writing to urge the Department of the Interior to … [continued]
At first glance, the road to a sustainable energy future, which would cut carbon emissions, slash air pollution, and provide plenty of clean electricity at an affordable cost, seems way out of reach right now. At least, that’s the way it appears if you listen to the fossil fuel boosters … [continued]
Stanford Woods Institute for the Environment Senior Fellow Mark Jacobson says the United States has the technology and logistical ability to convert to all-renewable energy sources by 2050—if we can manage to exercise the social and political will to do so. He’s the guy who told David Letterman we already have … [continued]
Continuing on with our daily series on Leonardo ENERGY videos, here’s one on a plan to power the world 100% with renewable energy — wind, water, and sunlight (WWS):
Marco Krapels, one of the tremendous speakers in this video, is actually the person who shared this video below with me — huge thanks to Marco. The video covers some of the most important research on clean, renewable energy; energy, in general; electric vehicles; and climate change (a bit). … [continued]
It’s a given to me that renewable energy can power the world. I’ve been studying the matter for years and have looked into the various talking points against it. The technology is here. The technology is tested and proven. The technology will also get better and filler technology will … [continued]
