I'm completely one hundred percent sure that we should actually do this for countless reasons.

The study just showed how it could be done without harming the economy or very mildly if at all.

This is the sort of thing companies won't do without a great deal of prodding and poking banning doing other things that do more enviromental damage this this plan and financially encouraging doing this.

Renewable energies are great but exactly what do you mean by pass laws?
No harm to the economy is a bit unrealistic, there will be at Least some harm to the economy dont kid yourself.
But I agree we need to pursue renewable energies.

If, as the article indicates, the cost of producing green power falls to equal that of coal and gas power, it will not take an act of Congress to make it happen: electric companies will turn to it on their own. What Congress can do is promote research into methods to getting the costs down. We also need to recognize that no SINGLE alternative fuel will meet all of America's energy needs. The sustainable energy economy will be built on solar, wind, tides, methane, biomass, and a combination of other things. Popular Science had a recent article about a process that burns garbage, creates surplus energy, and produces hydrogen, oxygen, and a paste that can be used to create ceramic tiles.

We decided we didn't want a war anymore. Did the President listen?
We'll get alternative energy when the oil the oil runs out, 'cause the Bush family is heavily invested in oil. IF you hear they are buying farmland, it's time to invest in biomass.

No other energy source will be used until it is economically feasible. Capitalism at work. Anything the government mandates is doomed to failure. Easy enough.
