The 3 scenarios of Global Warming SOLUTION - all
3 are cost effective !
|
1.
Stanford Study of 100% RENEWABLES Energy future for USA ( study for the
rest of the world is coming): 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. It would also create
manufacturing, installation and technology jobs
.

The
100% Energy Revolution
(2. Greenpeace &
3.
IEA )
Scenarios:
Worldwide, 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 supply costs, the cost savings
amount to $42 trillion or $1.1 trillion/year.
So the additional investment costs are covered
entirely (107%) by fuel supply cost
savings.
Renewable energy accounts for 87% of all energy
jobs
by 2030;
 | solar photovoltaic will provide 9.7 million
jobs
– equal to the number of coal jobs today,
|
| while employment in the wind sector will increase
10-fold from its current 700,000 to over 7.8 million –
twice as many as the oil- and gas industry
combined. |

| 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:
| transportation, |
| electric power, |
| industry heating and cooling energy with renewable energy. |
It calculates:
| the number of new devices |
| jobs created, |
| amount of land and ocean areas required, |
| policies needed for such an infrastructure change. |
| air pollution mortality and morbidity impacts |
| costs 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.
Stanford in Scientific American
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.
| 40% from wind power (NY), |
| 38% from solar (NY) and |
| 22% from hydroelectric, geothermal, tidal
and wave energy. (NY) |
| All vehicles would be electric .
|
| Home 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 . |
| Home hot water: Air- and
ground-source heat pump water heaters powered by electricity and solar hot
water preheaters . |
| Industrial processes: High temperatures would be obtained with electricity and hydrogen
combustion. |

QUESTIONABLE PREDICTIONS of
100% Energy Revolution (Greenpeace &
IEA )
Scenarios:
| "By 2030 the only investment in fossil fuels is in
gas power plants which are switched from natural gas to renewable
hydrogen between 2035 and 2050.
|
| 18% BIOMASS by 2050 " |
