According to the National Solar Jobs Census, solar industry employment has grown by 86% in the past five years, resulting in nearly 80,000 domestic living-wage jobs. As renewable energy technologies become even more cost-effective, we should see the global energy market continue to transition away from traditional fossil fuels.

Well said, Peter. Much work has actually been done on the forefront of transitioning to a 100% clean energy economy. Mark Z. Jacobson and his team from Stanford University, for example, have put together renewable energy plans for each of the 50 states.
