PLAN A: RENEWABLES 100% Wind, Water and Solar. Mainly hydro with wind and solar. Wind turbines and solar panels require large amounts of land and materials to generate a few megawatts of electricity. https://web.stanford.edu/group/efmh/jacobson/ It would take more than a million wind turbines to power the US and would have huge environmental impacts. Many access roads, wind towers and transmission lines cluttering the countryside, transmitting unreliable electricity from distant sunny or windy areas.
