How Solar Became Cheap

In this webinar, provided by the Center for Renewable Energy Advanced Technological Education (CREATE), Gregory Nemet discusses how solar energy became a cheap model for low carbon innovation. Nemet also explains why energy transitions are hard. These transitions are difficult because people want cheap and reliable energy, past transitions took decades, and it takes more than a 100 years to get rid of the carbon dioxide already in the atmosphere. The webinar ends with Nemet discussing how to accelerate the model. The webinar recording runs 1:00:15 minutes in length and includes closed captioning.
