Build Renewable Energy NOW.

Clean Energy, Education, Environment, Renewable Energy, Video

Our desire to live comfortably on this planet does NOT give us the right to kill the oceans.

Offshore drilling is killing the oceans.

Our survival depends on healthy oceans.

We need to replace dirty energy with clean energy.

The amount of work required to replace dirty energy with clean energy is HUGE.

The effort to become a clean energy planet requires that we create 11.5 TW of new non-carbon based energy in the next 25 years.

To generate this much new energy, we will need to retool our global economy.

In chapter 9 of the video lecture below titled “Climate Change Recalculated,” Saul Griffith proposes a plan for what it would take to retool the world energy production.
