As we see an increased push back from citzens over the degrading extactive energy practices of Big Oil and the problems it causes, we see a renewed focus on getting our economy onto the right track with renewable options. Scientists at the Massachusetts institute of technology (MIT) have announced that world's continuous push for clean energy can happen fully by 2050. Using data collected at Stanford University, scholars have calculated the cost to benefit analysis of every form of viable renewable energy for every country in the world.
This is all stemming from the need to go carbon free in our energy production. Not only does Renewable energy cost less to produce, it also lowers health costs over time due to the lessened pollution. The plan would create some 2 million plus jobs over 40 years and improve effieciency while reducing overall demand for power. These type of win-win cooperative solutions are the future of mankind on the planet.
