Not downplaying just how awful those administrations fucked us over, but modern solar and batteries are generations of tech better than what we had back then. We didn't hit the "cheaper than gas" point until just the last few years.
@darwinwoodka @juliehuz @cwebber@JessTheUnstill @darwinwoodka @juliehuz @cwebber That was probably in considerable part because less effort was put into the matter than there otherwise would've been. -

I've been looking at this report that came out the other way, and the section 2.2.2 about batteries alone just makes me feel like the world isn't horribly broken for once

Yes, but the whole format, while technically containing truths, it practically made to sell lies.
Myth: We don't put radium in toothpaste anymore, because it is radioactive.
Fact: Bananas are also radioactive, but you don't see warning labels on them.
