Re: Science: Vaccines Work, GMOs Are Safe, Everything is a Chemical
But if you can do it that means a whole service industry will start to grow up around installing and servicing it. I can't wire my house, either. That skill cliff is a business opportunity, not an impediment to the technology.
Here's a nice table showing the adoption trend lines of various techs. The "half-life" (0 to 50% of consumers) of telephones was 30 years; for the internet it was 15 years. I'm taking as the starting line cost effectiveness, since if a tech is not cost effective trending remains at zero. Whenever it is we hit cost effectiveness for renewables generation of electricity, the installation won't be an important barrier.
