Thanks to current technology, the economics of utilizing solar and wind energy have suddenly and dramatically improved, according to a new report.
The Carbon Tracker Initiative, a financial think tank studying the path to a low-carbon future, reveals a “collapse” in the cost of renewable energy over the past three years in a study titled “The Sky’s the Limit,” a little-noticed report flagged by The New Yorker this week.
According to the report, solar and wind have the potential to meet 100 times the current global energy demand, and over 50% of today’s renewable technical potential also has economic potential. By the end of the decade, that 50% grows to over 90%.
