Essential read for lay people, candidates and other scientists...
Scientists use the models that Jacobson innovated
“… presents a proposed solution to global warming and air pollution, namely, the conversion of the world's energy infrastructure to a large-scale, clean, renewable one. Because air pollution and global warming, in particular, are so severe, a rapid and large-scale conversion is needed. The main barriers are not technical, resource based, or even economic. Instead, they are social and political. “
~~ Mark Z. Jacobson, "Air Pollution and Global Warming: History, Science, and Solutions," Cambridge University Press, Cambridge, 2012.
Specific plans for 50 US States have been completed and proposals for additional 139 countries are in the works.
