Why did renewables become so cheap so fast? | DataBlog | Renewable energy technologies follow learning curves + no cost of fuel
⚠️ pay attention to learning curves
policy option: more jobs; cheaper prices for consumers; safer planet 👀
”This is the beautiful thing about technology: once it is invented somewhere it can help everywhere.”
2020: fossil fuels (oil/coal/gas) ~79% of energy mix → 87% of CO2 emissions
Cost of renewable power = cost of the power plant == the cost of the technology itself
1. 1956 → first panel (super expensive)
2. 1958 → used for electricity generation on a satellite
learning rate: each doubling (2x) of capacity → reduction of price by 20.2% | ||
