All we need is existing technology, market forces, and time. Our hope is that the time we need isn’t long enough for us to cook the planet with fossil fuels…Solar PV will beat any other power generation method on [unsubsidized] cost by 2030… PV at scale is [already cheaper than fossil fuels (and even for residential/commercial it’s comparable with grid costs)… There are many options for short-term energy storage…[and] we already have all the infrastructure to store a lot of energy [long term]…” click here for more
