“The learning rate for natural gas is nowhere near as steep as solar, which just tells you that it's easy to make solar panels, much easier to make solar panels. There are actually very few manufactured products which are easier to make. The Wright-Sawyer coefficient is 43%. So every time we double cumulative production, we get a 43% reduction in cost.”

AISO Market Calls classifies public statements from public sources. A classification such as long thesis, short thesis, or explicit call describes the content of the public statement and does not prove that the speaker actually entered, exited, or held a position. Market performance shown is calculated from public market data around the source publication or timestamp. It is not investment advice.
