Wood, J. (2020, February 28). Renewable energy could power the world by 2050. Here’s what that future might look like. Retrieved March 8, 2020, from https://www.weforum.org/agenda/2020/02/renewable-energy-future-carbon-emissions/

Through a study that divided the globe into twenty-four separate regions based off their emissions, researchers were able to predict steps necessary for efficiently countering climate change. One option was creating a supergrid of solar panels, that would potentially run from Canada to Mexico. This structure would be responsible for both lowering the cost and storage requirements of a new renewable energy system entirely. Because solar power could account for at least seventy-nine of the world’s energy demand, it is also predicted that a majority of countries will no longer use oil. 

This article relates to environmental science because it predicts what the future of the would could look like if switches were made to renewable energy. It mentions the widespread use of solar panels, which is only beginning to happen now. By describing the benefits of solar power and exactly how much it would cost and affect the planet, the public is highly encouraged to do their part and take action.
