80% of America’s Electricity Could Be Supplied By Current Green Energy Tech - Gas 2

Do you think that by 2050, America will get most of its energy from clean, renewable sources?

This massive finding was done by the DOE’s National Renewable Energy Laboratory . The DOE concedes that achieving the 80% rate is going to be an uphill battle, but it is possible. For starters, massive changes will have to be made to America’s infrastructure in order to get the full benefit from renewable energy power sources. The technology might be good enough but the national grid is not. Another challenge foreseen by the DOE is increasing the transmission capabilities for wind energy. Wind energy must expand beyond 439 gigawatts if the 80% figures are to be fulfilled. Current wind energy capacity in America is anticipated to hit 50 gigawatts by the year 2016.
