Here are two graphs that show either how bad humans are at predicting the future OR, just possibly, how oil money can motivate reasoning to bend public & private investments to its will:
@ret3 Thank you, for these impressive graphs. I knew about the facts for PV in Germany, but I didn't expect it to be that significant - and for transportation, too.
