Greenpeace brings its energy (r)evolution to the U.S.
Michael Mariotte
May 14, 2014
For the past few years, Greenpeace International has published major reports under the moniker Energy (R)evolution detailing ways to move the European Union to a renewable energy future–an approach that has gained considerable traction within the EU.
Now, Greenpeace has turned its attention to the U.S., with its release today of Energy (R)Evolution: A Sustainable Energy USA Outlook. A Greenpeace blog post with download links to the Executive Summary and two versions of the full report is here.
And a rather fun article on the report from CleanTechnica is here.
The goal of the report is to point the way to a clean energy future. In this case, the full report outlines steps that could and should be taken to achieve 97% of our electricity production by 2050 from clean energy. Nuclear power is not part of the picture; and for the most part neither is biomass. When Greenpeace says the goal is to phase out dirty, unsustainable energy sources, they mean it.
