It would cost $73 trillion to revamp power grids, transportation, manufacturing and other systems to run on wind, solar and hydro power, including enough storage capacity to keep the lights on overnight, Stamford Professor Mark Jacobson said in a study published Friday in the journal One Earth. But that would be offset by annual savings of almost $11 trillion, the report found.

I'm not knowledgeable about green tech, so this amazed me.
Is anyone more who is knowledgeable about green tech able to comment on these numbers?
Is our current technology really sufficient to get the world completely on renewables already? This runs counter to what I have heard from other posters on this forum.
Is it just a matter of political will?
