I think the truth is in the middle. Solar is becoming ridiculously cheap, but even if the panels were free there's still a lot of other costs to factor in.
As explained elsewhere, a mix of energy sources is necessary.
And your statement is devoid of context. Solar is already working well in North America (and elsewhere), and uptake will continue to increase. It won't be a panacea for the rest of the world, and solar+wind won't replace all other generation types.
- nemo44x 4y agoYes by all means deploy it but by no means is it a strategic solution.
- switchbak 4y agoIt's an important component of a strategic solution. Where it makes sense, aka: not in the artic circle. Not sure why you're dismissing it so out of hand. I agree it's not the panacea that many want it to be, but it's still very important, especially given its recent cost declines (solar specifically here).
