87 Thousand Terawatts of Renewable Sources Available Almost For Free Against 17 Very Expensive Ones

87 Thousand terawatts (TW) is the amount of renewable�sources with ZERO pollution that every year are freely�available and potentially exploitable on Planet Earth.

17 TW was the world’s energy consumption in�2007 and as you know that wasn’t for free and the�amount of pollution is not equal to zero.

For those of you that are not familiar with prefixes in the SI system, 1 tera is equivalent to a thousand billion (one trillion), 1,000,000,000,000.�

87 thousand of those trillions watts�are free every year and can be easily used to� produce electric energy for our daily needs. The systems we can use to produce renewable and clean energy are highly efficient hence very effective.

17 TW is what we have consumed in 2007,�but only 5% was free meaning that 0.00085 terawatts out of this is produced by renewable�sources. The remaining 95% is produced by�non-renewable sources that cost a lot, and�not only in terms of money! The systems we are currently using to produce�this energy are very low efficient, very polluting�and expensive if not extremely expensive and for�some reason no one talks about it.

The world consumption is a mere fraction of the�entire potential of renewable energy (you do the�math) but still our energy is being produced using�non-renewable sources.

It makes me mad when I think that with such a�potential, still billions upon billions of dollars are�wasted for drilling oil, mining coal, building�nuclear power stations and other such stupid�things, and the list can go on and on, but we all�know what it’s going to cost us in the near future if�we don’t do anything now.
