Using a «high - resolution electricity system planning model»
of the DOE's two - year - old SunShot Initiative (meant to knock down the cost
of solar electricity to market prices by 2020) alongside likely
carbon -
limitation policies, Kammen and company found that it's not unrealistic for solar to
capture a third
of the Western U.S. electricity market within 40 years, displacing currently more - attractive technologies like nuclear and natural gas.
Now, having said all
of that I do support the use
of more solar panels, some wind tubines,
carbon capture, hybrids even with their
limitations as wellas EV development even with their drawbacks as well.
