  • to make photovoltaic solar energy availible to the whole world the installed cost of the solar needs to be $.75 / W.
  • if the PV industry grows at 50% growth for 10 more years, solar would still only be 2.6% of the world electricity market.
  • great graph on electricity costs and solar costs around the world at 16 minutes into the video

  • Anyone studied electrical energy before 1999 was taught that renewables can be at most bit players and that renewables can destroy the electricity grid. These notions are not true.
  • Counties that have tried to expand the renewables sector in a dramatic way have discovered that it was very easy and hugely cost effective.
