Furthermore, there is a world market for other energy sources, which are all somewhat fungible. So if solar takes off around the world, fossil fuel demand will slack and prices will continue to drop making their extraction less viable.
Hopefully we also start to see some significant replacement of fossil fuels used for transportation.
