I don't want to be impolite but that is verging on gibberish. Someone could build a solar farm and presumably start making money. The costs are reasonable (eg, [0]). There is an outside risk that in 10 years an extremely expensive source of power enters the market. Assuming a bunch of relatively unlikely stars align, including that someone is mad enough to fund a nuclear plant in Australia despite the usual vocal political opposition that has scuttled the industry in most other western countrys. There is nothing there that threatens solar investment; people invest in riskier capital projects all the time. We're in the middle of what appears to be an energy crisis right now. The targets and stuff were an issue when mass solar buildouts were an ideological stunt. But we delayed that idiocy for long enough and it appears that private investment will take it from here as long as the environmental approvals etc aren't too onerous.
