It creates excess carbon

It’s too heavy to ship

18 / 25

Approximately how much U.S. land would be needed to run 100% on renewables?

5–10%

10–15%

25–50%

75%+

19 / 25

Why did Google’s research team conclude renewables alone can’t power the future?

They’re unreliable and new tech must be invented

They are too expensive

They cause global warming

They violate physics

20 / 25

What is power density?

The amount of energy returned per dollar

The energy generated per unit of land area

The density of fossil fuels

The ratio of carbon to power

21 / 25

Which energy shift cut U.S. emissions from electricity by 30%?
