Solar power is growing so quickly it is set to become the biggest source of electricity on the planet by the mid-2030s .
By the 2040s within this next generation it could be the world’s largest source of energy of any kind, overtaking fossil fuels like coal and oil.
Solar power capacity is doubling every three years , meaning it has grown tenfold in the past ten years .
The Economist says the next tenfold increase will be the equivalent of multiplying nuclear reactors by eight , in less time than it usually takes to build one of them.
They are the two states with the lowest wholesale electricity prices outside Victoria , whose prices are very low because of its reliance on brown coal. It is price rather than the environment that most interests The Economist . It says when the price of something gets low people use much, much more of it. As energy gets really copious and all but free, it will be used for things we can’t even imagine today . The Economist said to bet against that is to bet against capitalism..
