We showed years ago that the US economy can be reconfigured to use PV, Wind, Geothermal & Hydro
as its energy resource, with no need for petro fuels, or nuclear.
Our paper describing this research is available on Academia, and is widely cited.
Since then advances continue to be made in both PV and Wind. The most important PV advancement is proton induced exfoilation of 20 micron mono crystalline wafers from Si Ingot, because it reduces the energy required by 75% or more.
Major advances in wind turbine rotor airfoils have improved efficiency of Wind turbines, which together with new direct drive generators, greatly reduced initial cost and maintenance.
