> A bitter dispute. A clash. A battle royale.
>
> Those are just a few descriptions of a new study countering Mark Jacobson's 2015 report showing that we can source 100 percent of America's energy from wind, solar and water.
>
> Jacobson's study is controversial. Celebrities like Mark Ruffalo and Bernie Sanders have lauded his work. Other experts have long questioned his assumptions. Jacobson himself has called it the "only moral choice."
>
> This week, Twitter erupted with debate over Jacobson's assumptions -- resulting in personal attacks, a litany of tweet storms and wide press coverage.
>
> In this episode, we're going to dig into the dispute over 100 percent renewables that has spilled out of academia and into the mosh pit of Twitter and politics.
>
> In the second half of the show, we'll focus on reliability and renewables. Does Europe’s better outage record tell us anything about variable wind and solar and the health of the grid?
>
> Finally, America just got 10 percent of its electricity from non-hydro renewables. What does that tell us about where we are headed?

> I think the EIA report you are referencing is functionaly meant to to be a "prediction / best guess" of what WILL happen, while this report is functionaly meant to illustrate how a particular pre-chosen outcome could be achieved. Prediction ≠ What-if
