Your impression is incorrect.
As the blog post notes, the problem is that two changes in particular - the reduction in demand, and the absolutely crazy drop in the cost of PV - were far larger than anything mckay was able to reasonable foresee in 2008.
> That seems to me that he was set out to dismiss solar and wind and just looked for numbers to confirm this.
Almost the opposite, in fact.
- cycomanic 3y agoOk thanks for the correction, as I said the impression was really only based on my interpretation of the numbers in the Blog post. I will have a look at the book then.
