One of the fundamental themes of your book is that the technological learning curve that has resulted in the rapid reduction in the costs of renewable energy has been sustained for 50 to 70 years and shows no signs of slowing down. What did you find in terms of cost reductions in different types of renewable energy as a result?

If you ask a bunch of experts to predict the cost of a technology 10 years from now, they’re all over the map—9 out of 10 are wrong, and you don’t know which one is right. And there are states like Georgia where public interveners don’t have any right to discovery. There’s just so much that is contingent and unknowable.
