One billion by 2020

Page - October 17, 2006

A recent Greenpeace report called Solar Generation  reveals that, with a global effort:

  • One billion people could be using solar power by 2020
  • Two million people could be working in the solar industry by 2020
  • Solar power could comprise up to 21 per cent of global energy supply by 2040.

To reach these goals, Greenpeace recommends increased cooperation between government and industry and the removal of subsidies for nuclear power and fossil fuels.
