For most countries around the world, sourcing energy entirely from wind, solar, geothermal, and hydropower by 2050 would reduce their energy needs and costs, improve air quality, and help slow climate change, according to a study in Environmental Science & Technology.

    No shit; fixing your mistakes is always more difficult/costly than not making them in the first place.

    Not surprising, but kudos to Standford University researchers for putting the work and collecting data to confirm this.

    I’m shocked that people trying to profit off carbon capture are pushing it as a solution over renewables.
