A geometric curve like that isn't particularly likely to be maintained. It gets harder with each doubling. Its very easy to say "if the projected growth to 2012 is maintained to 2020...", but its very hard to actually do, and there is no good reason to anticipate that it will happen, or even that it has any significant chance of happening. Well, it's happened with new technology before. But I agree that's just tossing numbers into the wind without good reason. But there certainly is a strong, if nascent move towards renewable energy. Wind, solar, CSP, geothermal... all these combined will have an effect and will certainly gain a significant market share over time.
