billion over 14 years from 2026 to 2040, which is the term of the contracts. Meanwhile, solar power is the cheapest form of new electricity generation anywhere in the world, Ontario included. We must tell Ontario to take its foot off the gas and go with renewable energy instead. Catherines. How do we know?

The Energy Foundation China predicts that Inner Mongolia will be one of the last provinces to reach peak carbon, sometime between 2026 and 2030. Coal-chemical plants, for example, could switch to using hydrogen from renewable energy for producing chemicals such as methanol and alkenes. An urgent need for change.

Critics of wind and solar routinely raise concerns about how much land would be required to decarbonize the US power sector. This would require 1,400 to 10,100 miles of new high-capacity lines per year, assuming new construction began in 2026. Fortunately, the answer is relatively little. times current levels by 2035.

A 2021 report by the US Department of Energy’s Solar Futures Study estimates that as much as 1,600 GW of storage could be available by 2050 in a decarbonized grid scenario if solar power ramps up to meet 45 percent of electricity demand as predicted. Currently only 4 percent of US electricity comes from solar.
