A new machine learning paper is a must read for anyone engaged in climate action, whether they researchers, technologists, entrepreneurs or policy makers.
The latest peer reviewed study by Mark Jacobson and his team at Stanford shows exactly what needs to be done to decarbonize the energy sector of the entire world and how to pay for it.
While Jacobson’s latest Stanford study on 100% renewables by 2050 will draw fire for leaning into the Green New Deal, it strongly supports that policy.
Jacobson’s latest study carefully uses with current technologies and currently available resources for storage and transmission. The latest evidence is that there are much cheaper alternatives than his team models, underselling the potential.
100% renewables for 143 countries covering 99.7% of global energy carbon emissions is very inexpensive compared to business as usual in Jacobson’s latest.
In this episode of our CleanTech Talk podcast interview series, Zach Shahan sits down with Mark Z. Jacobson, professor at Stanford University and co-founder of The Solutions Project, to discuss Mark’s work to bring together important players from science, business, culture, and community behind his vision of 100% renewable energy for 100% of people. They also talk about the early days of Tesla and some of Mark’s special history and connections.
Solar geoengineering is a bandaid on the symptoms, not a cure for the causes. It’s like putting out the fires caused by an arsonist wandering around with a flamethrower instead of confiscating and shutting off the flamethrower itself. Global heating would slow and stabilize if we stopped forcing more CO2 into the system. But it’s unclear if that’s as true for oceanic carbon uptake.
Researchers at Stanford have gathered data for over 100,000 schools and determined that adding solar panels to their roofs could help them lower their energy costs dramatically while helping to lower carbon emissions in the communities they serve.
