To solve the climate crisis, we need to cut this in half by 2030, and get to zero by 2050. For electricity generation, this means the United States alone needs to increase renewable-energy capacities by 10 times over the next 12 years , which roughly translates to a mind-boggling 400,000 more wind turbines and 2.5 seconds per part.
