Superpower: Corrigendum
We wish to alert readers to an error made in the first printing of Superpower: Australia’s Low-Carbon Future.
In graph 4.8 on page 86, the key for ‘solar PV’ and ‘coal’ was transposed, incorrectly giving the impression that solar is getting more expensive over time. The corrected page, showing how solar is becoming cheaper, is provided here.
The error has been corrected in ebook and will be corrected in future print edition reprints.
