An optimistic video from The Electric Viking. He makes many points I've repeatedly made:
- solar is the cheapest energy source now, and is getting cheaper
- batteries are getting cheaper too, and new technologies are driving the cost curve down
- growth rates of 25% per annum will lead to 100% penetration within a decade
- There's plenty of space to put wind and solar, because of dual use, e.g., rooftops
- Most of the world is in the "sun belt", and if solar is cost-effective in Europe, imagine how cost-effective it is in Africa, SE Asia, Southern Europe, etc.
- Tony Seba got it right, even though all the naysayers said he was a lunatic.
Of course, it's more complicated than this, and lots of my articles cover the complexities.
