Subject: [permaculture] MIT says solar energy holds the best potential for meeting the planet's long-term energy needs while reducing greenhouse gases.
A massive study on solar power by researchers at the Massachusetts
Institute of Technology came to two main conclusions: Solar energy holds
the best potential for meeting the planet's long-term energy needs while
reducing greenhouse gases and federal and state governments must do more to
promote its development.
The main goal of U.S. solar policy should be to build the foundation for a
massive scale-up of solar generation over the next few decades, the study
said.
"What the study shows is that our focus needs to shift toward new
technologies and policies that have the potential to make solar a
compelling economic option," said Richard Schmalensee, a Professor Emeritus
of Economics and Management at the MIT Sloan School of Management.
