I saw the above graph on Carbon Tracker, and it tells a great story. Despite all the fossil fuel subsidies, erratic Government policies and powerful anti-renewables lobbies, solar energy is exceeding expectations by a country mile – taking an exponential growth rate rather than the predicted incremental linear approaches (from reports of the respected International Energy Agency between 2000 and 2007).

We are winning folks. Let’s keep striving forward, driving the sustainability revolution forward and ignoring the cries of “it’ll never happen” from the libertarian right and the deep green left. Let’s build the future we want our children to enjoy.
