@aanee@mastodon.online @infobeautiful@vis.social while I'm 100% on board with you directionally, I suppose the counter argument would be that exponential growth has to tap out eventually, is just a question of when it turns into an S-curve.

    @tartley@fosstodon.org @aanee@mastodon.online @infobeautiful@vis.social It will turn into an S-curve sometime after the full electrification of Africa, South and South-East Asia and Latin America.

    @tartley@fosstodon.org @aanee@mastodon.online @infobeautiful@vis.social Well, what would be a limitting factors that would make it more expensive/more difficult to keep expanding solar? => running out of physical space to build panels on: Yes but this isn't happening anytime soon and we would have beaten current world energy production well before that point is reached => running out or raw materials: Plenty of time until then too, and recycling older panels could help too.
