Reduced CO2 84.6 Gigatons, Net cost $1.23 trillion, Net savings $7.4 trillion

A very interesting fact is by the uneven heating of the earth’s surface and the planet’s rotation , air is drawn from areas of higher pressure to lower pressure creating tides of air or wind.

In essence, the wind energy of just three states — Kansas, North Dakota, and Texas — would meet all our electrical needs cost to coast. However, weather is inconsistent and wind does not always move the turbines . Interconnected wind and solar grids could overcome the fluctuations of each other.

Wind generated power also does not have adequate government subsidies, and this detracts from it’s cost competitiveness. Currently the International Monetary Fund estimates that the fossil fuel industry received more than $5.3 trillion in direct and indirect subsidies in 2015, and the U. S. wind energy industry has received $12.3 billion in direct subsidies TOTAL since the year 2000. As this changes, wind will be the least expensive source of installed electrical power over the course of the next decade.

• 89.74 gigatons reduced CO2
• Cost? Too variable to be determined
• – $902.8 billion net savings

Located under the “Materials ” section in the book ” Drawdown” by Paul Hawken, is the number one issue and most important or effective for drawing CO2 levels down , REFRGERATION. All air conditioners, supermarket cases, and refrigerators contain chemical refrigerants that absorb and release heat, giving us the ability to keep ourselves and our food cool. Refrigerants were composed of CFC’s (chloroflourocarbons) and HFC’s (hydfrflorochlourocarbons), which have been phased out but are still in high circulation. These chemicals cause alot of the depletion of our stratospheric ozone layer. Even their replacement, HFC (hyfrofluorocarbons) , while not affecting the ozone layer, still warm the earth’s atmosphere 1 to 9 thousand times greater than carbon dioxide.

In 2016, officials made an amendment called the Kigali Deal to the Montreal Protocol to phase out HFC’s. Natural refrigerants, propane and ammonium, are now phasing in to our use. This Kagali deal, unlike the Paris climate agreement, is mandatory. It has set in place specific time tables and targets of action. Scientists estimate this action will reduce global warming by close to 1 degree Fahrenheit!

Refrigerant recovery , removal, and transformation and purification to other chemicals that do not cause global warming is becoming standard practice.
