Why Should We Seriously Consider Renewable Energy Over Fossil Fuels?
#217 Great.com Talks With... Nordic Folkecenter for Renewable Energy
In a recent interview, serial entrepreneur Elon Musk said we would soon look back on gasoline powered cars in the same way we look back on coal: a quaint anachronism in a museum. Whether we like it or not, there will be no more oil and gas in a few decades’ time. In this episode we talked with Daniele Pagani from the Nordic Folkecenter for Renewable Energy about the importance of investing in renewables.
One Renewable Gives Denmark Half Its Power
The Nordic Folkecenter for Renewable Energy aims for a world that runs on 100 percent renewable energy. They offer training programs about renewables to people from all over the world.
Daniele explains that one of the biggest misconceptions people have is that renewables are a cool idea for the future but not a practical one right now. In reality, they are a solution that’s already working in many countries. Denmark, for example, gets over half of its electricity from renewables (51% covered by wind and solar in 2020).
Another aspect of education is showing people that renewables can benefit them directly in a way fossil fuels don’t. Renewable energy installations can be built cooperatively where locals can own shares and influence development. Excess wind energy can also be stored and exported and it can be a very valuable way of diversifying a country’s energy network when used in conjunction with solar, hydrogen, biomass, and fossil fuels.
