Economics are what will drive renewables adoption. People can try to convince others of the importance all they want, but once renewables are cost competitive

Economics are what will drive renewables adoption.
People can try to convince others of the importance all they want, but once renewables are cost competitive with fossil fuels, the majority will switch of their own volition... no convincing needed. EVs are already on the cusp of this
Of course everything is a bit reflexive... less dependency on Oil will drive lower oil prices and vice versa.

- PaulDavisThe1st 3y agoYou need the technology in place to deal with the fact that solar and wind are not demand-based systems (so, basically, storage). That goes beyond the generation cost, and prevents switching even if generation cost is far lower.
