Reasons to Go 100% Renewable Energy

The threat of climate change, caused by rising

global temperatures, is the most significant
environmental challenge facing the world with
major implications for social and economic
stability, natural resources and the production of
energy.

Nuclear Power:
According to IPCC, nuclear hasn’t achieve much, Nuclear capacity is
declining globally (Safety to finical viability) and it’s already faces
many barriers.

There are so many disadvantages for Nuclear Power technologies.

The big news is the breakthrough in new Renewable Energy

The costs of solar and wind have declined profoundly. 
Renewables are increasingly the cheapest source of new electricity.

In 2013, commercial solar power reached grid parity (i.e.

the point at which it is comparable or cheaper to produce
electricity with solar than purchase it from the grid) in
Italy, Germany and Spain and will do so soon in Mexico
and France.

80 percent of new electricity generation 
added between now and 2020 is expected to be renewable.

Growth rates prove how fast renewables can be 
deployed and scaled up

Japan has installed 11 GW of solar energy. In terms of electricity, that equals

more than two nuclear reactors (building a nuclear plant typically takes a
decade or more). Furthermore, Japan has approved 72 GW of renewable
energy projects, most of which are solar. This compares to about 16 nuclear
reactors, or about 20 coal fired power plant units.

Last year, China installed as much new wind power as the rest of the world
combined.

Growth rates prove how fast renewables can be 
deployed and scaled up

In just three years, Germany has increased its share of renewable energy in
power from 17 percent to 24 percent.

India aims to boost its solar PV capacity more than six‐fold in less than five
years, by adding 15 GW by early 2019.

USA ,the states of Iowa and South Dakota produced about 24 percent of their
electricity with wind in 2012.
Nine US states were producing more than 10 percent of their electricity with
wind.

Renewable energy
now provides 22
percent of the
world’s electricity.

How we Measure?

1MW Turbine generates enough electricity to power 250 homes

How can you be a part of this?

Renewable Energy Advocacy, join Organization that stands for Clean Energy
(e.g. Greenpeace, IndyACT)

How can you be a part of this?
Help rural areas school to produce their own power from the sun

“If we could achieve lower energy costs, we would have more space to 
do other things with our budget, like investing in computers and 
ensuring Internet access for all our children,” thought Nevenka Maras, 
the school principle.

100% renewable energy is the way to go

“will we look into the eyes of our children and confess

that we had the opportunity, but lacked the courage?
that we had the technology, but lacked the vision?”
