80 Percent of U.S. Electricity from Renewable Is Technically Feasible, But Faces Significant Barriers
Renewable energy technologies that are commercially available today — combined with a more flexible electrical grid — are “more than adequate” to supply 80 percent of the nation’s projected electricity demand in 2050, according to a new study by National Renewable Energy Laboratory, a federal U.S. energy laboratory.
A massive U.S. government study shows what an electrical grid powered largely by renewable sources looks like, but not the path to get there.
