The United States Can Transition to 100% Renewable Energy by 2050
This [Stanford] study develops consistent roadmaps for each of the 50 United States to convert their energy infrastructures for all purposes into clean and sustainable ones powered by wind, water, and sunlight (WWS) producing electricity and electrolytic hydrogen… The [proposed] timeline for conversion: 80–85% to be WWS by 2030 and 100% by 2050.

100% renewable energy by 2050. Well, that’s way far away.

I agree with you, Cecilia, but that there is a way forward is heartening.

Eventually…….same here why soooo looong.
However step in right direction.
My issue
Every new home built in my town will have solar installation and recycled water.
Waste water into sewers ….rain water piped into resovoir.
Any excess energy not used is credited to their yearly bills via grid feed back.
Waste water and sewer waste sold to farmers for recycling.
Hey its 2015 ……..my farm in Spain Alpujaras is almost 100% self sufficient.
No electric bills
No gas bills
No water bills
Telephone “pay as you go” ….mostly incoming calls.
Min local tax on land. €20 PA on 10.000M2
5 mins walk to village
€1 fare to town 6Km away on public transport autobus.
My home away from home.
Flight from UK Gatwick to Malaga £50 return 2.25hours.
My car is my plane…..less £ per mile.
Life in 21century UKPLC.
AMERICA is too BIG to care.
My spin…..economic migrants welcomed….even on “slave wage”
of £6.70 per hour…..the struggle for a ” living” wage continues.

Kamtan, congrats on making the transition to cleaner, sustainable energy. Wish I could do the same here in Los Angeles. Now in our fourth year of drought in California, I’m focused on reducing water wastage. California’s water system is very complex; our governor is working hard to address this problem. Lots of BIG BUSINESS involved.
“AMERICA is too BIG to care.” Sadly, for Americans and the rest of the world, our government is in a stranglehold with BIG BUSINESS, especially the transnational corporations in the fossil fuel industry and the media they control. Corporations are not people; they’re incapable of caring. Their main concern is growth and profits, even if it means destroying human habitats.

Corporations also too big to care…..the struggle continues.
Some of us are “waking up” avoiding multinational shopping…..
but it is more difficult to define what is “multi national” sometimes.
Supermarkets in UK are clever ……they buy up 49% shares in their competitors.
LIdl is German but 49% owned by UK Tesco…..public shop at Lidl now as prices are
lower than Tesco.
Consumers are unaware of these inter ownerships.

I agree, Compton, it’s sometimes very difficult to know where to put our dollars and where not to. Cutting down on mindless consumption also goes a long way.

2050 is a really tame deadline. Hopefully, somebody (Elon Musk?) will revolutionize the transition to renewables before then!

I agree with you, JoAnn, 2050 is too far off.
