The world’s cheapest power source is scaling at warp speed, pushing coal, gas and nuclear aside.

@NotRappaport The argument against solar was always that the investment needed was prohibitively expensive compared to the cost of exploiting existing power sources. But over time the investment was made in dribs and drabs, and now it reached a tipping point. Good.

@NotRappaport A recent Technology Connections video really helped persuade me.
When oil or natural gas are extracted, they can be used exactly once.
When raw materials are extracted for solar panels and batteries, yes, there's an environmental cost, but the panels can be used for decades, and after that, the materials can be recycled.
