100% New Energy Can Happen Fast
100% renewable energy could power the world by 203…Experts say the potential for rapid transformation of the world’s energy system has a parallel in the speed with which cars replaced horses in the 1900s.

“…[Electricity from solar, wind, and water could power the entire world in less than 10 years, and] be the sole energy source for the world’s heating, cooling, transport, and industries by 2035…[The 100 per cent electrification plan] would eliminate air pollution, which kills one in five people every year, and largely solve the climate crisis…[The planet’s average temperature has been rising over the last 12,000 years, and] may be at its warmest for 125,000 years due to human-released greenhouse gases since the Industrial Revolution…
…The 100% RE Strategy Group’s 10 point declaration summarizes hundreds of studies that show 100 per cent RE is technically and economically possible and could happen quickly with the right policies…[The studies] show that creating the new 100% RE system will stimulate investments of trillions of dollars and create millions more jobs than lost worldwide…
Most people won’t believe 100 per cent renewable energy is possible…[until] it happens…Eleven countries such as Costa Rica and Iceland already generate nearly 100 per cent of their electricity using green energy sources like wind, solar, hydro, or geothermal. Twelve countries have also passed laws to reach 100 per cent renewable electricity by 2030…The potential for rapid transformation of the world’s energy system has a parallel…[Cars replaced horses in the 1900s] in only 10 to 15 years…[after the 1910 price of a car fell 600%]…[Today’s] government policies such as a price on carbon and regulations have the potential to drive the transformation…” click here for more
