Climate change, pollution,and energy insecurity are among the greatest problems of our time. Addressing
them requires major changes in our energy infrastructure. Here, we analyze the feasibility of providing
world wide energy for all purposes (electric power, transportation, heating/cooling, etc.) from wind,
water, and sunlight (WWS).
