On the whole it seems like it doesn’t have that far to go
- emteycz 6y agoBut looking at the whole is not nearly enough. I don't want my electricity turned off during winter.
- ben_w 6y agoOf course, but there has already been a massive change in a really short period, and maintaining the current rate of change is likely to make the UK CO2 emissions a non-issue over just the next decade or two.
- emteycz 6y agoI am not sure if maintaining the rate of change is possible. There was a lot of low hanging fruit that is being picked now, but the winter months are not easy to pick.
- ben_w 6y agoThe current trend for declining cost/MWh for both green production of energy and battery storage of energy is why I am optimistic. It doesn’t look like we’ve reached the declining returns part of a logistic curve yet.
- futevolei 6y agoAre you confusing wind and solar? If anything I would guess wind production increases in winter.
