Every now and again really smart people make pushes in science that need to be taken note of. At the moment, if there is one area in the world where smart people need to invest their time, it is poverty and the environment.<\/p>\n

Thankfully, Stanford researcher Mark Z. Jacobson and Mark Delucchi of the University of California, Davis, have co-authored a plan that would convert the entire planet to renewable energy sources and halt the use of and need for fossil fuels.<\/p>\n

“Based on our findings, there are no technological or economic barriers to converting the entire world to clean, renewable energy sources,” said Jacobson, a professor of civil and environmental engineering. “It is a question of whether we have the societal and political will.”<\/p>\n
