100% renewable energy is within reach and crucial to avert the worst of climate chaos.
Instead of doubling down on more fossil fuels, we must close coal and natural gas plants and replace them with renewable energy. Technology for a large-scale transition to renewables has existed for over 20 years but is cheaply available now — we need strong government policies backed by political will to see them through.
Renewables alone can close coal. Technology exists to support a transition to 100 percent clean, renewable energy backed up by storage and transmission at prices lower than current energy costs. While natural gas generation and some renewables are comparable in cost, new coal generation is substantially more expensive than
both. Levelized costs of new coal generation are more than double the cost of natural gas.
