Description: A global energy transition within 20 years requires massive installation of wind and solar panels. An intercontinental power grid could be part of a solution.

It could be as simple as this. Substitute fossil fuels with low carbon energy. But the dimension of the a global energy transition is rarely debated. We must speed up rapidly, dramatically with the installations. It is very unlikely that we get there by 2040. And even that would probably be too late. The good news: The technology is available and affordfable today, in contrast to many other approaches. Fossil fuels account for about 70% of the greenhouse gas emissions. The mass deployment of wind power, PV
Fossil reserves are limited. A transition to renewable energy must happen sooner or later. These investments cannot be avoided. The only question is when. Companies involved in coal, gas and oil exploitation are interested to slow down the process. They want their gains for a few more years. The money spent on fossil fuel is lost to the public. So even without climate change it would be wise to push forward a global energy transition. It is illusionary to hope for any change of habits. The world population
A complete world trasition to renewables is neccessary within 15-20 years Ramp up production capacity for wind power, PV, solar CSP, HVDC cables, converter stations Inventor friendly conditions for renewables 200 $/t carbon tax or more including CO2-equivalents for methane and nitrous oxide and F-gases Balance storage and grids for maximum efficiency Support science for more effective prodution of these Export opportunities: China, USA, India, Australia and Russia (some day) should become aware of their cha
