The latest roadmap to a 100 percent renewable energy future from Stanford's Mark Z. Jacobson outlines infrastructure changes that 139 countries can make to be entirely powered by wind, water, and sunlight by 2050 after electrification of all energy sectors. Such a transition could mean less worldwide energy consumption due to the efficiency of clean, renewable electricity; and a net increase of over 24 million long-term jobs. The work appears Aug. 23 in the journal Joule.
