How many gigawatts do we need?
apparently around 25 terawatt hours is what the entire world uses
probably would want to use more than that though so yeah, a lot
so one gigawatt its like a thousand days, so we are talking 30 years to replace fossil fuels, unless the rate keeps expanding?
Just watched an interesting video about the efficiency of renewables meaning we’ll need less total capacity to output the same amount of usable energy
