Still coal in 2060?
Uncertainties arise, however, over grid stability in a renewables-dominated power system, the availability of sufficient finance in underdeveloped economies, the capacity of supply chains and political resistance from regions that lose employment.
that only addresses one of the issues above.
Yes?
then you see there are multiple reasons why coal may still be in use in 2060?
“may” is maybe. Lets talk again about it in 36 years.
not here to set a wager, I was just trying to help explain the authors’ reasoning.
I would have thought Iceland would be geothermal.
Given that energy usage also increases about quadratically, this means that net CO2 emissions will roughly remain equal till 2060.
This is not a good graph.
By levelized cost of just the energy. Taking into account energy storage at different renewable mixes makes it a little worse for intermittent source. All that to say, nuclear can still be useful and cheaper in some situations.
