Not every technology has the same learning rate—and some technologies don’t even have a learning curve. There has been some good research into what traits make a technology better for learning curves. We’d do a lot better as a society if that work was applied more readily to public policy.

Paul Haavardsrud on CBC "Cost of Living" on the future of solar Solar is sneaking up on people It’s 6% of global electricity, growing at 30%/yr, and it's been growing like that for 30 years. It won’t take many more years of that to make an impact Revolutionary? maybe www.cbc.ca/listen/live-...

The solar power revolution is coming | Cost of Living with Paul Haavardsrud | Live Radio | CBC Listen
Solar power is at the dawn of a quiet revolution. Costs are coming down fast and technology is only getting better. By 2035, solar could make up half of the world's electricity generation. So what could boundless cheap energy mean for us?

Tech firms, oil companies and the U.S. government are investing billions of dollars in carbon capture technology to suck greenhouse gases out of the atmosphere. Can it save the warming world?
