Study: solar, wind and storage can provide 99.9% of power By 2030

A new study has deter­mined that renew­ables could eco­nom­i­cal­ly ful­ly pow­er a util­i­ty scale elec­tric grid 99.9% of the time by 2030 — and with­out gov­ern­ment sub­si­dies, if the prop­er mix is imple­ment­ed.  This new study affirms what we’ve been say­ing for a decade now: we don’t need nuclear, coal, oil, gas, bio­mass/incin­er­a­tion or oth­er dirty ener­gy sources.  We can meet our ener­gy needs with con­ser­va­tion, effi­cien­cy, wind, solar and ener­gy stor­age… and it’ll be reli­able and cheap­er than our sta­tus quo.   See the press release or the full study.
