QUOTE FOR THE DAY II

For soul food"

100% RENEWABLE ENERGY BY 2030

the cover story in the November issue of Scientific American, by a pair of California professors (one from Stanford & another from UC-Davis) is on transitioning worldwide to renewable energy by 2030. it is well worth reading, mainly b/c it lays out such a transition in a very pragmatic fashion I haven't seen elsewhere, tho that could just be b/c I haven't been looking. unfortunately I don't think it's available on their website and I know most people probably don't read physical copies of magazines these days. so here's a synopsis with most of the main points.
