The Complex Calculus of Clean Energy and Zero Emissions

Cars That Think

If you ask a bunch of experts to predict the cost of a technology 10 years from now, they’re all over the map—9 out of 10 are wrong, and you don’t know which one is right. And there are states like Georgia where public interveners don’t have any right to discovery. There’s just so much that is contingent and unknowable.

The Energy Transition Requires a Holistic Approach

Cars That Think

One of the fundamental themes of your book is that the technological learning curve that has resulted in the rapid reduction in the costs of renewable energy has been sustained for 50 to 70 years and shows no signs of slowing down. Deepak Divan However, industry regulations also strongly influenced the way electricity providers thought.
