The Energy [R]evolution demonstrates that transitioning to a renewable energy economy can free resources for economic development. It means more and better jobs, greater energy independence, and it is more democratic as citizens attain more control of energy production. Compared with the Energy Information Agency energy outlook, the transition to renewables creates more jobs at every stage of the energy transition, with more than 34% more jobs by 2030.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"The Energy [R]evolution aims to wean the economy off dirty fuels as thoroughly and quickly as possible,\u00a0and in a way that is technologically, politically, and ecologically realistic. This report is part of a global\u00a0analysis showing how the international economy can transition to nearly 100% renewable energy by\u00a02050, while assuming no new ‘breakthrough technologies’.<\/p>\n
