Bluprint for a truly clean energy revolution

“A complete conversion to renewable energy by 2050 is possible from a technical and ecological point of view. It’s a very realistic target based on technology that already exists.”

The climate solution? It’s an energy [r]evolution we need, Mr Osborne | Greenpeace UK, 17 july 2010, This week Greenpeace launches our vision for a European energy revolution – a practical blueprint for a renewable energy future. Using only proven technologies we can phase out fossil-fuels, cut CO2 emissions by over 90% by 2050 and ensure energy security – without a huge reduction in living standards.

“A complete conversion to renewable energy by 2050 is possible from a technical and ecological point of view. It’s a very realistic target based on technology that already exists.”

Energy (R)evolution: Towards a fully renewable energy supply in the EU shows how combining existing technologies, switching to electric vehicles and demand reduction initiatives can dramatically reduce European energy requirements.

Sound too good to be true? Not to Germany’s Federal Environment Agency, which is confident it can generate all of its electricity from renewables by 2050…….
