That's the finding of a new study  published in Energy Policy; we've already developed advanced  know-how to power the world with clean power -- it's  a matter of finding the social & political will to deploy it. Stanford University News reports: "[The researchers'] plan calls for using wind, water & solar energy to generate power, with wind & solar energy contributing 90 percent of the needed energy. Geothermal & hydroelectric sources would each contribute about 4 percent in their plan (70 percent of the hydroelectric is already in place), with the remaining 2 percent from wave & tidal power."
