All of this points to the need for a transformation of our energy supplies. The United States needs to set a goal of a carbon-free, nuclear-free energy economy by 2030. Can it be done? Do we have the technology? Arjun Makhijani, who wrote a book on the roadmap to a clean energy economy that would be carbon-free and nuclear-free wrote on the anniversary of Fukushima that: “We can do better than making plutonium just to boil water or polluting the Earth with fossil fuel use. When I finished Carbon-Free Nuclear-Free in 2007, I estimated it would take about forty years to get to an affordable, fully renewable energy system in the United States. Today, I think in can be done in twenty-five to thirty years. Are we up to the challenge?”
