  • The Week That Solar Was Left for Dead [View article]
    I was just reading the article in Science Mag from 2004 which details a dozen or more options, or partial solutions, for cutting CO2 emissions needed to prevent the worst effects of global warming. These are referred to as Stabilization Wedges. One Wedge is photovoltaics. It envisions increasing PV worldwide from the present 3 gigawatts to 2000 gigawatts by 2050. That's a 700 fold increase. And they recommend that we not waste any time deploying this and other solutions, all of which can be done with current technology. Solar thermal with heat storage is another wedge. As is wind. Solar thermal isn't shown as a wedge in the above, but it is now considered to be one of our best options.
