By 2090, The Whole World Could be Powered by Renewable Energy

Imagine a world powered completely by renewable energy! That's exactly what The European Renewable Energy Council and Greenpeace believes can happen by 2090. According the EcoGeek:

The report creates a scenario that includes biomass, geothermal, solar and wind energy providing the bulk of the world's power. While the development of those sources is key, the larger component of the scenario is major increases in efficiency. These gains would be made by instituting rooftop wind and solar so that energy is generated close to the consumer, as well as retrofitting and maximizing the efficiency of buildings, particularly through better insulation. The report claims that the bulk of these changes could be made by 2050.

Energy [R]evolution Report, a Sustainable Global Energy Outlook, outlines how to achieve this goal.  This comprehensive report is divided into the following sections:

• climate protection
• implementing the energy [r]evolution in developing countries
• scenarios for a future energy supply
  
• the energy [r]evolution
• nuclear threats
  
• key results of the global energy [r]evolution
