Abstract
Solar photovoltaics and wind power are the #1 and #2 generation technologies in terms of global net new capacity additions respectively. The growth of PV is fast enough to entirely supplant fossil fuels worldwide within two decades (with consequent 80% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions). The time frame depends mostly on politics. PV and wind energy offers our only realistic chance, but an excellent chance, of avoiding dangerous climate change.
