100% Renewable Elelctricity Challenge
Will America accept the challenge to meet 100% of electricity supply from non-carbon based fuels within 10 years?
 

If you think the United States is up to the task go to

www.wecansolveit.org and accept the challenge

Are other countries proposing 100% Renewable electricity?

Recommended viewing - Click here for an online link to an excellent production about the formation of oil. The remarkable journey of carbon dioxide (C02) and planetary conditions required for the conditions for fossil fuels to form, will give an idea of why there is such a danger continuing to predominantly rely on these as energy sources. In effect burning fossil fuels which release C02 could see a runaway greenhouse effect as shown in this documentary.

 

 

The fact is that the technologies to replace coal fired power stations and our reliance on fossil fuels is available now.

The economic cost of transitioning away from fossil fuels is much less than what you think.

The cost of maintaining the status quo is the one we can no longer afford.
