It is
technically and economically feasible to run the US economy entirely on
renewable energy, and to do so by 2050. That is the conclusion of a new study
in the journal Energy & Environmental Science, authored by Stanford scholar
Mark Z. Jacobson and nine colleagues.
Jacobson is well-known for his ambitious and controversial
work on renewable energy. In 2011 he published, with Mark A. Delucchi, a
two-part paper (one, two) on "providing all global energy with wind,
water, and solar power." In 2013 he published a feasibility study on
moving New York state entirely to renewables, and in 2014 he created a road map
for California to do the same.
