Durban provided it. It will be law in 8 years, about the same run up time as from California’s AB32, signed in 2006, implemented in 2013, that led to GW of solar investment in that 7 year period.

If we can make renewables so commercially attractive that they totally displace fossil fuels for electricity generation, CCS may be an expensive irrelevance.

There is one sure-fire way of doing that – invest in well-understood energy storage technologies first. That would make all renewables more attractive and electricity cheaper too, once the daunting capital outlay has been recouped.

Susan, I’m dying to read your views on my comment on your off-shore wind article of Dec. 10. If you think it’s really positive, Zachary has more.
