Encouraging news on Electricity, until Item 6 ...
I was quite encouraged as I read the article The Way Humans Get Electricity Is About to Change Forever that things might be ok for my kids.
It was consistent with my own first look at the near term availability of products like the Powerwall . These would mean that I could soon do something (for my business), that given my demand charge made financial sense, and was good for the environment. All without having to make any "soft" corrections to the payback calculation.
Then I read Item 6, that even with these projected improvements in power generation, that we would likely go through the 2 degree "point of no return". Take a look at Six Degrees: Our Future on a Hotter Planet for what that could mean.
