I think the replacement vs. new installation ratio would be constrained only by manufacturing capacity. The demand to replace plant with units at 5-20% the capital and operating cost will be insatiable. And only a damfool would spend another nickel on 20-50¢/kwh renewable nonsense, regardless of subsidies (which would be, I assume, cut off with a sharp cleaver despite special interest group howls).
