This was very exciting to me, but seems crazy, that would be transformational.<\/p>\n<p>And if it could happen, then surely we would be seeing solar start to appear everywhere today.<\/p>\n<p>So what does the data say? Ember energy, a global energy think tank, help tell the story. <a href=\"https:\/\/ember-energy.org\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/ember-energy.org<\/a> <\/p>\n<p>In this video I go through some of the latest data that helps show the trajectory we are on in terms of solar going forward.<\/p>\n<p>00:00 &#8211;
