The conversion to solar and wind generated electrical Power will be driven less by the gradual depletion of Coal and Oil deposits than by the need to limit pollution of the atmosphere by Carbon emissions the study says. World Carbon emissions now reportedly exceed 5 billion tons per year and arc increasing at a rate that will reach More than 12 billion ions by 2030. The Institute contends that the level must be reduced to 2 billion tons per year to avoid a destructive warming of the atmosphere. Consequently inc Institute envisions not Only a gradual move away from Coal fired and Oil fired Power plants but a sharply reduced role for gasoline powered automobiles in industrialized countries.
