There's always a lot of gloom and doom to report on energy issues, but it's important to remember that we have with us the technologies today to begin our transition to an energy system powered by a green energy. The transition to solutions, coupled with improved energy efficiency, will create new jobs, decrease our exposure to toxic pollutants like mercury, and help to solve the climate crisis.

The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) published a report in 2010 that examined 164 different energy scenarios and found that with the right policies in place, renewable energy can supply up to 43% of energy in 2030 and 77% in 2050. When banks stop funding coal power and the governments put in place the right policies, we will be well on our way to a zero carbon world. Take action today.
