Still plenty of time to apply for this complexity economics postdoc with us @INETOxford .
Any questions, just drop me a message on here, or email.
Deadline 5 July midday
This week's nice @TheEconomist cover reminds me of the working title for this paper last year: Is a solar future inevitable?
We thought the answer was yes. Looks like people at the Economist now agree.

Global investment in renewable power & grids overtook spending on fossil fuels for the first time in 2023 — a sign of the new energy economy that’s emerging
But clean energy investment must grow much faster for the world to reach energy & climate goals ➡️ https://t.co/OkdG8f5wcj
Research from @doyne_farmer and @f_lafond_ helping to illustrate that one of the most transformative changes in technology over the last few decades has been the massive drop in the cost of clean energy.

A major @IEA report out today shows that the transition to net zero emissions would mean lower energy costs globally than if we continue on our current path
Scaling up clean technologies is good for affordability as well as for cutting emissions

We may have passed a positive #TippingPoint in #solarpower, says @GSI_Exeter#climate expert Dr @FemkeNijsse in response to @EmberClimate analysis finding renewable energy to have passed 30% of the world’s electricity supply.
Investment in manufacturing clean energy technologies is surging. Last year, spending rose to $200 billion, up 70% from 2022
This is supporting economic growth & offering new industrial & employment opportunities worldwide
