“Why 100 percent clean, renewable energy and storage for everything? Why not 50 percent, 80 percent, or 99 percent? First, the health plus climate damage of every bit of pollution that we allow to remain in the air is so enormous that it is important both morally and economically to eliminate 100 percent of emissions. Second, 99 percent is not an ambitious goal to shoot for. Did Magellan aspire to circumnavigate 99 percent of his way around the Earth? Did the Apollo 11 crew aspire to reach 99 percent of its way to the moon? No. One hundred percent is the goal because that is the best society can do and will result in the cleanest air and most stable climate possible for future generations.” ~ Mark Jacobson, No Miracles Needed
