A Stanford University Professor’s analysis concludes that the US can get to 100% clean energy by 2050 with a four-hour battery vital in his calculations. Mark Jacobson published his findings in scientific journal Renewable Energy. If true, it is positive news for proponents of alternative energy in solar and roofing such as Solar Integrated Roofing Corp. (OTC PINK: SIRC).

Stanford University Professor Says Solar, Wind And Water Energy Can Meet 100% Energy Needs For US By 2050 Using Four Hour Batteries; Solar Integrated Roofing Corp. (OTC PINK: SIRC) Focused On Alternative Energy Power
Key to the findings are the ability of four-hour storage batteries to take excess energy generated by alternative energy sources — such as solar, wind and water — to meet 2050 deadlines for 100% of US energy power.
Jacobson and his colleagues at Stanford told CNBC that it is possible to transition to a fully renewable system without any blackouts or batteries with ultra-long-duration battery technology.
He found that four-hour batteries can obtain more than four hours of charge when stacked to discharge sequentially. The batteries can be even used simultaneously.
Jacobson adds that four hour batteries can generate grid stability. “And I figured,” Jacobson tells CNBC. “Oh, my God, this is so basic. So obvious. I can’t believe nobody has figured this out.” Stanford University Professor Says Solar, Wind And Water Energy Can Meet 100% Energy Needs For US By 2050; Using Four Hour Batteries; Solar Integrated Roofing Corp.

In his paper published in Renewable Energy, Jacobson describes the national transition to clean energy and what it would take to stabilize the grid in 2050-2051. The paper talks about wind, solar and water energy and how the nation can reach 100% alternative energy independence.
“While the changes occurring so far are encouraging, they are not enough. Experts believe the world needs to transition all energy by 2035 to eliminate the seven million air pollution deaths that occur each year and to minimize climate damage,” Jacobson concludes.
The published paper finds that the application of solar, wind and water alternative energy would generate substantial job growth. The results indicate …….
