Scaling wind energy: What it will take to reach global net-zero, with Simon Watson
Wind energy is one of the cheapest sources of energy today, but it accounts for only ~6% of global electricity generation.To limit global warming to 2 degrees C or less, wind energy will need to scale up to about 5 times its current size. | So, how can this be achieved? What are the challenges to scaling wind energy to this degree? How does off-shore wind fit into this equation? And what needs to happen this decade to put us on track?Climate Now is joined by Dr. Simon Watson, Director of...
