[QUOTE="TwoForFlinching, post: 3262524, member: 24500"] The renewable technologies are still young. Solar efficiency only multiplied by a factor of +/- 3 from the time they were invented through 2015. 6% efficiency in the 60's to 22%-ish just four years ago. This same tech has doubled efficiency to almost 45% in the last four years alone. Wind is also young in terms of power production history. As time goes on, they'll become more efficient too. While it may seem like a waste of time, why wouldn't we invest in tech like this? What are the downsides to curbing the coke, coal, and cng powered plants? [/QUOTE]
