Australia: One ship load of solar PV is worth more to the grid than 100 ships of coal: IEA says fossil fuels losing race

The renewable energy naysers often site land use of wind and solar as a reason why they shouldn’t be built. Some of the claims are absurd, including one that suggested the entire land mass of South Australia would be required to power Australia with wind and solar.
But in a turn up for the books, and the many erroneous assumptions about fossil fuels, consider this: The International Energy Agency says that a single large container ship of PV modules can generate the same amount of electricity as 100 large coal ships, or 50 LNG tankers.
It all comes down to efficiency, and the IEA’s latest report into future technologies paints a picture of an industry that is rapidly overtaking the fossil fuels pioneered in the 1800s, and which has already reduced global shipping needs — and emissions — by 10 per cent in a decade.
