The Path to a Sustainable Energy Earth: A Comprehensive Plan

🔋Repowering the existing grid with renewables is already underway, with solar deployment growing 50% year on year.

🚗Switching to electric vehicles will lead to a 21% reduction in fossil fuel use, with EV production growing 59% year on year.

🏠Transitioning homes, businesses, and industries to electric heating, such as heat pumps, will contribute to a sustainable energy economy.

🔥Implementing high-temp heat delivery and storage for industrial and chemical processes will further support the sustainable energy goal.

✈️⛵Developing sustainable fuel options for planes and boats will ensure a fully sustainable energy Earth, even for transportation.

How much land is required for renewable energy?

—Less than 0.2% of Earth's land area is needed for wind and solar energy, and these can often coexist in the same locations.

Will the transition to sustainable energy require more mining?

—No, the transition will actually require less mining than the current fossil fuel economy.

What percentage of the global economy is required for the transition?

—The transition will only require about 1% of the global economy's capital expenditure or less, depending on the timeframe.

Will all cars eventually be electric and autonomous?

—Yes, all cars are expected to go fully electric and autonomous, rendering traditional gasoline cars outdated.

How will rockets be powered in a sustainable energy Earth?

—Even rockets can be electrified by using CO2 and water to produce methane and oxygen for fuel.
