A somewhat upbeat report from the International Energy Agency. I think these things are difficult to predict, but renewables are on a “techology curve” which means non-linear gains. This mostly means things could be even better than this report indicates. I got to see first hand how exponential change in a technology works during my decades long career in the semiconductor industry. The changes are so fast it is difficult to comprehend, even for people working in this area. It still amazes me to think the phone in my pocket is a computer that would have cost millons of dollars and taken up a warehouse a few decades ago. Something similar is happening in renewable energy. Hang on to your hats, folks.
