Jacobson, Mark Z.; Delucchi, Mark A.
Scientific American, November 2009, v301, #5, pp58-65
"The article discusses how alternative energy sources, such as wind, water, and solar power, can provide all of the world's energy needs and eliminate fossil fuels. Topics include an in-depth discussion of how the construction of millions of wind turbines, water machines, and solar installations can provide energy, the need to use clean energy such as geothermal energy that has near-zero emissions, and statistics regarding the amount of installations needed worldwide to supply energy."
Mark Z. Jacobson is professor of civil and environmental engineering at Stanford University and director of the Atmosphere/Energy Program there. Mark A. Delucchi is a research scientist at the Institute of Transportation Studies at the University of California, Davis.
