Having now read the entire article it is interesting to look at the situation we now face as a result of the fallout of having passed peak demand rather than peak resources (oil). Economic solutions often seem counterintuitive as human nature, business structuring and environmental factors are inflicted on pure economic theory. And then add the 'red hat/blue hat' divide and conquer approach of current day politics.

The book The Price is Wrong describes the reasons for renewable energy struggling to advance despite being potentially the cheapest energy source available, until corporate systems and other conflicting aspects are factored in. The book approaches the issue on a similar reasoning basis as the linked article does.
