    This document outlines a plan for Brazil to transition to 100% renewable energy from wind, water, and solar sources by 2050. It projects that the energy mix in 2050 would include 42% solar plants, 17% offshore wind, 11.5% hydroelectric, and other sources. This transition would create over 1.5 million jobs over 40 years and reduce Brazil's 2050 energy demand by 38% through efficiency. It estimates it would use only 0.15-0.02% of Brazil's land and avoid over $130 billion annually in health costs from reduced air pollution. The transition would pay for itself within 3.7 years and save the average person over $1,500 annually in energy, health, and
