Paris Climate talks ...the technology

We certainly are at the beginning stages of a massive shift in the energy sources for industrial civilization.

My home province has pledged emissions 80% below 1990 by 2050 - now we have a natural leg up and we've already dumped coal entirely but it's still good to see thes big numbers.

This was a real surprise today

Solar power Keep it in the ground India unveils global solar alliance of 120 countries at Paris climate summit Narendra Modi announces a new alliance of nations and industry on large-scale expansion of solar energy use in the tropics and beyond Monday 30 November 2015 16.24 GMT Last modified on Monday 30 November 2015 23.13 GMT India’s prime minister has launched an international solar alliance of over 120 countries with the French president, François Hollande, at the Paris COP21 climate summit. Narendra Modi told a press conference that as fossil fuels put the planet in peril, hopes for future prosperity in the developing world now rest on bold initiatives. “Solar technology is evolving, costs are coming down and grid connectivity is improving,” he said. “The dream of universal access to clean energy is becoming more real. This will be the foundation of the new economy of the new century.” Modi described the solar alliance as “the sunrise of new hope, not just for clean energy but for villages and homes still in darkness, for mornings and evening filled with a clear view of the glory of the sun”. Earlier, France’s climate change ambassador, Laurence Tubiana, had called the group “a true game-changer”. While signatory nations mostly hail from the tropics, several European countries are also on board with the initiative, including France.
