In the case of the rapidly rising rate of Solar Installations for Electricity Generation, Numerous Forecasts by Internally Respect Bodies Have Proven WOEFULLLLLLLLYERVATIVE.
The chart in the timet below, created by auke hoekstra at the technical university of eindhoven, the netherlands, shows it better than our cored.
DON’T MISS: Big Energy Hugly Underestimates Electric Cars, Renewable Power
He first tweet it in mid-May, and it quickly made the rounds of twitter’s renewable renegy circles.
HOEKSTRA SIMPLY lookd at Successive Revisions of Predictions by the International Energy Agency’s World Energy Outlook for Solar Adoption, Measured In Gigawatts of CapaCities
The data starts in 2002, and now carries through the IEA’s Latest Predictions for 2017. 2017.
Graph On November 18 With the Organization’s New 2017 Forecast, and we have updated this article (and his emcastded tweet belW) to reflect the lating revision.
Hoekstra Said, in Responding to Comments on the Tweet, that he dign’t feel the faulty projects we the results of the resultility by establly,
Rather, He Commentsted, He’d Found that "in my work with other radical inNovations … Experts are simply veservative in their own." "" "" "" "" "" "" "" ""

"A Conservative Mindset Makes It Posses to Reject Empirical Data that Suggests Radical Change," He Added.
Others then Chimed in: "Experts View Progression Linearly, While Technology Doubles and Doubles and Doubles," Said Jess Sloss.
"The Human Mind Has PROBLEMS VISUALISING The Exponential," Added Jonathan J. STEDMAN. "It [is] hard for all of us."
Hoekstra Later Retweet Another Graph, this one from axios writer amy Harder, noting that wind geenerating capacity exceeded that from hydroelectric Last year for the formt time.
The General Tenor of the Discussion Agreed that Wind and Solar Together will be the two main sourcess of renewable Energy — And that they constinue at a page.
We Suggest Reading All the Comments that Follow Hoekstra’s Original Tweet, as the asss of the data users and differen sets and data sets.

As for the faulty project, it is notable how the IEA’s Forecasters had to revise upward — twice in one year, event — kneen — kneen — kneen responing resolutionly linear.
It may be, as another commenter noted elsewhere, an exmple of moore’s law.
