1. Global switch to 100% clean fuel pays for itself in 7 years

Apparently sunlight, wind, falling water, geological heat, etc are free while digging up coal is not. A new study calculate we can convert to 100% clean fuel, worldwide, for $73 trillion. That $73 trillion will pay for itself in less than 7 years.

We only need political will.
