It's trended downward because of the basic economics of the "peak oil" argument - it has become more scarce and thus more expensive to extract. The "more electricity" point is a red herring. Cost per kwh is all that matters. That's like pointing to AM radio being around longer saying it produced more hours of audio and then trying to use that as a basis for it being of superior quality. It's just older. The bicycle argument is also a total misunderstanding of the vast technical superiority of things like modern solar. The aptera and light-year one automobiles for instance, both due next year, will feature solar panels, that in sunny climates, will charge a vehicle more miles than an average daily commute. This means that in typical use, the owner will never need to plug in or otherwise fuel up the vehicle, at all. For a WFHer like myself it means I effectively will always hop in with a "full tank". I'm excited and you should be too. These are the 1.0 version of the cars. Wait until the 5th or 10th year. In 2030, a 1,500 or 2,000 mile range vehicle that fueled itself merely by sitting outside is what I'll be driving. You can continue going to the gas station and paying $10-20/gallon if you wish. Have fun. There's significant revolutions in energy coming in the 2020s. Such as partially transparent photovoltaics that transition window UV exposure with the sunlight so you get a pleasant adaptive window coating that also powers your home. We're on the road to effectively unmetered energy. We are doimg much better than coal now. Let's keep moving
