Economic Gravity

The thesis that once clean energy becomes structurally cheaper than fossil alternatives, deployment becomes inevitable regardless of moral persuasion or political consensus.

The thesis that once clean energy becomes structurally cheaper than its incumbent alternatives, deployment becomes inevitable across markets and political coalitions. Economic Gravity is the book's name for the mechanism by which cost curves drive the transition independently of moral persuasion, regulatory mandate, or political consensus. It is the force that does the work the climate movement has been unable to do through advocacy alone.

First introduced in: Chapter 10
