McKay concludes his red stack/green stack by talking about much energy Britain could feasibly get from renewable sources. He expresses his frustration towards the public and how their concerns make renewable energy sources seem like an inconvenience.
He concludes that only 18 kWh/d per person could be generated using renewables and that 125 kWh/d per person is consumed. It is clear that two things need to happen if we can expect to power our world with renewable energy. The public needs to embrace new forms of energy production, even if they are a minor inconvenience, and consumption needs to decrease. If these things happen it may be feasible to power our world using renewable energy.
