Next steps in the clean energy transition
What we need to do next.
clean up electricity - high quality renewable energy can be substituted into transport and heating
stop building coal generation or mines - we don’t need either of them
pray for China - the world leader in renewable capacity growth
deploy storage - batteries and demand flexibility to smooth intermittent renewable
digitize - the energy industry is behind on installing sensors and collecting data
tax carbon - an externality that can be neutrally priced into marginal energy costs
subsidize - renewables can’t ride of on low interest rates forever
lifestyle choices - diet and flying have major carbon impacts
The most important will be your lifestyle choices.
