About

Solve Climate covers five subjects: the learning curve that made solar the cheapest electricity ever contracted, the storage and grid services that cover the hours it cannot, the heat pump at domestic and city scale, the two industries — cement and steel — where the carbon is chemical rather than combustive, and the methods whose performance at scale is disputed.

The test for a page here is whether it names the plant, the quantity and the qualifier. A price is for a site with a particular sun, a particular cost of capital and a particular grid connection; it does not travel. A pilot demonstrates that something can be done, not that it can be done cheaply or often. Where a claim is contested, the section called Not proven is where the argument is kept rather than smoothed.

Every page is reachable without a menu: Everything lists all twenty-two, in section order.
