A global switch to renewable energy use will rake in money too

Dreaming about a greener future seems to be the right thing to do today, and everyone’s trying real hard to change this dream into a reality. Well, here’s something more we’d like to see in the future. A global switch to renewable energy could make the world greener and at the same time create an $18 trillion energy industry by 2050 and 8.5 million jobs by the year 2030. Currently, out of the 8.7 million jobs globally in the energy industry, only 2.4 million have people employed in the renewable energy industry.

That’s not all. Creating employment and making the world greener is just the start. Energy prices could drop too, with people spending less on electricity bills. Also, renewable energy is a whole lot safer than the forms of energy generation we usually use today, keeping away oil spills in the oceans and air pollution.
A world powered by renewable energy in the future seems to be a dream we need to fulfill, if we’re looking to save the environment and ourselves that is.
