Road Map 2050
Posted by Thorbjorn 7 June 2010
Roadmap 2050 is a proposal to set in motion an invisible revolution in the energy sector which would stabilize the Earths climate. The project is a design for a feasible and affordable Europe-wide power infrastructure which can be implemented by 2050 with existing technology. With the political will and capital investment needed to realize the design, Europe could reduce its greenhouse gas emissions by 80%, and set an example for the rest of the world. www.oma.eu
