FOSSIL FUELS: Report: World can end its destructive dependency on fossil fuels by 2090
We can save $13,000,000,000,000 ($13 trillion) dollars in future energy costs, and we can create a “$360 billion industry that provides half of the world’s electricity” by switching to renewable sources for our energy. Given the multi-trillion dollar savings, it is easy to understand why the oil companies have continuously sabotaged efforts to build the clean renewable infrastructure. The oil companies have a great interest in pumping as much oil as they can out of the ground and have it consumed by folks like you and me—no matter the cost to our pocketbooks or environment. From ABC News:
The 210-page study [pdf] is one of few reports – even by lobby groups – to look in detail at how energy use would have to be overhauled to meet the toughest scenarios for curbing greenhouse gases outlined by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change.
“Renewable energy could provide all global energy needs by 2090,” according to the study, entitled “Energy (R)evolution.” EREC represents renewable energy industries and trade and research associations in Europe. A more radical scenario could eliminate coal use by 2050 if new power generation plants shifted quickly to renewables.
Solar power, biomass such as biofuels or wood, geothermal energy and wind could be the leading energies by 2090 in a shift from fossil fuels blamed by the IPCC for stoking global warming.
