    Gotta Get Serious About New Energy

    “…[W]e need a complete energy overhaul by 2050 to avoid catastrophic climate change, but at our current rate of progress…it's going to take another 363 years [according to new research]…Rather than adding 1,100 megawatts of clean energy a day, we've managed an average of just 151 megawatts…Replacing an entire planet's energy network is costly and time-consuming, not to mention politically and technically challenging…Stopping energy production from fossil fuels tomorrow would be fantastic from an environmental standpoint – but it would also leave a lot of people out of work, send plenty of companies to bankruptcy, and leave many areas without power…In other words, shifting to better energy solutions is complicated…Part of the issue is that a lot of the effects of global warming will be delayed: by the time rising sea levels, uninhabitable regions, and mass migration are right in front of us, it'll be too late to make the necessary changes…There is some hope: the progress we're making on electrifying heat production [is good and]… governments around the world are waking up to the seriousness of the problem…The opportunity to reach the necessary energy goals by 2050 may have passed, but any step in the right direction…is going to help pull us away from the worst-case scenarios…” click here for more
