This study evaluates pathways and quantifies the costs of transitioning to a 100% renewable energy (RE) power system for the contiguous United States. That cost depends on future system conditions (e.g., low versus high RE costs), the definition of the 100% requirement (e.g., whether the requirement applies to end-use demand or total generation), and the time frame for reaching 100%.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
