The world could be 100% renewable by 2050
Adoption of a global green energy infrastructure would provide power to 4 billion! people and the energy independence of countries would eliminate a major cause of global conflict.
A new study by Stanford University’s Atmosphere/Energy Program makes the case that the world could be fully powered by renewable energy as early as 2050 by detailing the necessary resources for each country.
Researchers analyzed energy roadmaps for 139 countries and calculated how much energy they would need to meet demand for:
- household electricity
- industry
- agriculture
- transportation
- heating
- cooling
