Sleek solar panels forged from silver and silica from the depths of the Earth translate the sun’s blindingly fiery light energy into electricity. Wind turbines with blades each the size of a 12-story building punctuate the skyline of wind-swept fields and help power entire cities. Batteries help store surplus energy.

King Coal is still the first source of electricity , but this will be very temporary as wealthy nations are ditching it as fast as they can to the benefit or wind and solar. I wrote about it before, both solar photovoltaic and wind power are on exponential curves. These are good news for our climate and our common future.

Most studies show that achieving these targets will require an unprecedented increase in wind and solar power to decarbonize the power sector and meet the increased demand for zero- carbon electricity to replace fossil fuels in building, industrial and transportation sectors. times current levels by 2035.

The Energy Foundation China predicts that Inner Mongolia will be one of the last provinces to reach peak carbon, sometime between 2026 and 2030. It could then explore local heating systems, using waste heat from factories and power plants rather than building new boilers. Power importers are likely to prefer green power.

DTE’s proposal, known as an integrated resource plan, describes how the utility intends to fulfill its customers’ electricity needs over the next 20 years. These types of long-term energy plans include forecasting the amount of electricity customers will need and examining different options for supporting that need.
