That last chart is really cool. It looks like solar will cost less than $0 per megawatt in 2039. So put up a solar plant and you don’t even have to sell any electricity to make millions!
(Boyd was a hugely important airplane designer and military strategist. He's not terribly famous, but he should be. Great, great book.)
The story goes that a defense contractor brought documentation to the USAF for their new plane. The documents were very impressive. All the officers were oohing and aahhhing. But Boyd looked at one chart and said, "This is an amazing plane! If I extrapolate this chart back far enough, I see that the wing has zero lift and the plane has zero drag. That's quite an accomplishment. What that means, is that if you turn the engines off, and park it on a ramp, you have to tie this sucker down or it will still have enough thrust to takeoff by itself. That's just amazing."
Then he called the contractor a liar and threw him out of his office.
