Sol och vind; kol och olja

 

Mycket att ersätta innan vi är fossilfria.



The world has had reliable economic growth for three centuries since industrialization and the fossil fuel era. 

Everybody wants to be wealthier and more wealth is correlated with more energy use.

Wealth brings more demand for the really poor countries that want to use what we have. 

I mean, only one in 700 people in the poor part of the world have ever flown in an airplane. And in the poorest parts of the world, only one in 800 people own a car. 

So, you don't have to be a mathematician or an economist to know it doesn't take much growth to create incredible demands for energy to manufacture and operate cars and airplanes, 

even if only 10 percentage points more of those people get wealthy enough to want to fly and drive cars.

Roughly three billion peoples’ annual energy consumption is equal to the annual energy consumption of your refrigerator. 

Their total energy consumption for all purposes over the course of a year does not exceed the energy consumption of your refrigerator.
