Renewable energy could power the world by 2050 | Climate News Network

Can wind, water, and solar power meet the world’s energy demands? According to 47 peer-reviewed research papers spanning 13 different groups and 91 authors, it is entirely possible.

Some studies looked at renewable energy options on a world-wide scale, while others focused on what independence from fossil fuels would look like in specific regions.

“In every case the findings are that the technology exists to achieve 100% renewable power if the political will to achieve it can be mustered.”
