totally renewable by 2050.
Australia was well placed to immediately switch to 100 per cent renewable energy.

The associate professor from the University of New South Wales told about 200 people that a mixture of power sources made renewable energy entirely possible.

And now Greenpeace says the world can be 100 percent renewable by 2050, and 85 percent renewable in just 15 years.

A ClimateProgress story says: “The 2015 Energy [R]evolution report, the latest in a series that has offered the most accurate projections of any major analysis, worldwide, says that for the first time, the path to 100 percent renewable is cost-neutral. In addition, no new technological advancements are needed, the report says.”

“It’s basically political will,” Emily Rochon, a global energy strategist at Greenpeace, told ThinkProgress. “The primary premise of the Energy [R]evolution scenario is we have all of the solutions already on the table to get there.”
