We have work to do.
That's the situation 1 or 2 years back, but what is the direction we are heading?
If solar maintains that rate for the next 26 years it would increase 11.545 times, surpassing our total energy needs within 15 years. It is unlikely it will keep growing at that rate, but hey.
Actually I expect geothermal will start to rise soon. I read about some initiatives that sound very promising.
One of my colleagues has a friend who owns a mansion in the woods, where Shell had set up a test location. It took millions to build and almost €20,000 a year to operate, but it provides heat for over 30 big houses in the area.
The average heating bill easily exceeds €1000 (more than half in tax) here, so at least the operational costs are easily covered.
