80% of global energy comes from fossil fuels
Today’s energy economy is dirty. 80% of our energy comes from burning fossil fuels, which leads to rising global temperatures and CO2 levels, as well as premature deaths from pollution. Furthermore, the current energy economy is wasteful-with only one third of global energy produced delivering useful work or heat.
A sustainable energy economy requires 50% less total energy
Most people assume that an electrified civilization requires the same or more energy than a fossil fuel economy. That is not true. A sustainable energy economy is clean and far more efficient-requiring only half the primary energy of a fossil fuel economy.
The investment required is manageable and achievable
Total land use, capital investment and resource requirements are achievable. Additionally, a sustainable energy economy actually requires less investment and less material extraction than continuing today’s unsustainable path.
