Climate Confident A 100% Renewable Electricity Grid Is Entirely Possible - A Chat With Auke Hoekstra
I came across a post by famed Dutch researcher Auke Hoekstra (@AukeHoekstra on Twitter) pointing to a newly published scientific paper proving that a 100% renewable energy grid by 2050 or before is entirely feasible.
I've known intuitively that this has been possible for some time, but to have it shown in peer reviewed science is something else entirely. So, I invited Auke, as one of the co-authors of the paper to come on the podcast to explain how this can happen.
We had an excellent discussion talking about renewables becoming cheaper, scaling utility scale storage economically, and the resources required for this to become a reality.
This was a truly fascinating episode of the podcast and I learned loads as always, and I hope you do too.
