Stanford Study of alternative energy future for California & New York State

Capital cost , such as the cost of building renewable energy power plants, 
would be more than made up for over time.
It would reduce power demand by about 37 percent, since fuel costs would be zero.
t would also create manufacturing, installation and technology jobs .

2030 power demand for all  (electricity, transportation, heating/cooling, industry) could be met by:

 By 2050 there will be huge savings in fuel supply costs, especially in transport and industry, with the phase-out of fossil fuels.
Because renewable energy has no fuel costs, the cost savings amount to $42 trillion or $1.1 trillion/year.
so the additional investment costs of the 100% Energy Revolution 2015 scenario
are covered entirely (107%) by fuel cost savings.

A new study finds that it is technically and economically feasible to power California or New York State by wind, water and sunlight (WWS). The plan, shows the way to a sustainable, almost free energy supply that creates jobs and saves billions of dollars in pollution-related costs.

It fulfills all of the state's:

bullettransportation,
bulletelectric power,
bulletindustry heating and cooling energy with renewable energy.

It calculates:

bulletthe number of new devices  bulletjobs created, bulletamount of land and ocean areas required, bulletpolicies needed for such an infrastructure change. bulletair pollution mortality and morbidity impacts bulletcosts based on multiple years of air quality data.

Vancouver commits to run on 100% renewable energy within 20 years
More than 50 cities have announced they are on their way to 100% renewable energy including
San Diego and San Francisco, Sydney and Copenhagen.
Some are aiming for 2020, others by 2030 or 2035.

Air pollution–related deaths would decline by about 4,000  plus health costs savings totaling $33 billion – every year paying for the new power infrastructure needed within about 10-17 years.

bullet40% from wind power (NY), bullet38% from  solar (NY) and bullet22% from  hydroelectric, geothermal, tidal and wave energy. (NY)

 

bulletAll vehicles would be electric . bulletHome heating and air-conditioning:  Electricity-powered air- and ground-source heat pumps, geothermal heat pumps, heat exchangers and backup electric resistance heaters would replace natural gas and oil . bulletHome hot water:  Air- and ground-source heat pump water heaters powered by electricity and solar hot water preheaters . bulletIndustrial processes: High temperatures would be obtained with electricity and hydrogen combustion.
