Switching from fossil fuels to renewable energy could save the world as much as $12tn by 2050
Switching from fossil fuels to renewable energy could save the world as much as $12tn (£10.2tn) by 2050, an Oxford University study says. The report said it was wrong and pessimistic to claim that moving quickly towards cleaner energy sources was expensive. Gas prices have soared on mounting concerns over energy supplies. But the researchers … Continue reading Switching from fossil fuels to renewable energy could save the world as much as $12tn by 2050
