New page

How to produce enough [[energy]] (for the world) without burning [[fossil fuels]]?

==Energy sources==
* Scale up [[solar power]], with [[energy storage]]
* Scale up [[wind power]], with energy storage
* Scale up [[nuclear power]]

==Vehicles==
No matter the energy source, gasoline cars and diesel trucks would need to be replaced with [[electric vehicles]] and/or [[hydrogen]] vehicles. So in any case, [[energy storage]] is needed.

==Analysis==
* [[How much electricity would it take]]
