“Within a decade, solar will have become decisively cheaper than coal. This means that the worst-case climate projections are off the table, for the simple reason that even with no treaties and no individual state actions to limit CO2 emissions, the emissions curve will bend down sharply and fairly soon.”

Good post.

Wish I could be more optimistic about the bolded parts. The transition from coal to renewable will take more than a few years, so I’m not sure we can toss out the most dire climate predictions just yet.
