Department of Energy that found that solar power could generate up to 45% of the U.S. Why such a heavy focus on solar power? It concludes that the latter two scenarios would require approximately 1,050-1,570 gigawatts of solar power, which would meet about 44%-45% of expected electricity demand in 2050.

Then, beginning around 2009, first wind turbines and then solar photovoltaic panels decreased enough in cost to become competitive in electricity markets. Hailed as the greatest invention of the 20th century , our now-aging grid was based on fundamental concepts that made sense at the time it was developed. Buildings use 74% of U.S.
