> "solar has scaled up faster than any other sources of electricity" Every industrial revolution also happened faster then the previous one. Which is related, but indirectly. Solar came to the fore at the apex of human industrial productivity (i.e. now, as opposed to any time in the past): so it would be very surprising if it didn't scale up faster then every previous energy source. Which of course makes sense that it did: China is the largest manufacturing base the world has ever seen, solar panels are made in China, and China is one of the most recent major industrial revolutions. This is one of those observations that doesn't really mean anything on it's own: any technology today which has an advantage should scale up faster then anything which came before, because we can make more stuff then before and have more wealth then before.
