The US Could Supply 80% of Its Energy with Wind and Solar
"A new report in Energy and Environmental Science shows that a conversion to an 80% solar and wind-based energy system is possible..[with] advancement in energy storage technologies or hundreds of billions of dollars invested in renewable energy infrastructure. 'The sun sets and the wind doesn’t always blow,' Steven Davis, an associate professor of Earth system science at UC Irvine, said in a statement. 'If we want a reliable power system based on these resources, how do we deal with their daily and seasonal changes?''"
