If it's CapEx it's -- by definition -- not a cost to run. Energy costs will trend to zero.
- nasseri 1y agoWhy will energy costs trend to zero?
- petesergeant 1y agoRenewables will keep getting more efficient and cheaper to install, batteries will continue to get cheaper, at some point they'll crack fusion. Prices go negative or zero in several places already (West Texas wind energy overnight, solar in Chile). The question seems less "when will we get abundant, virtually free clean energy" and more "will we do it in time to avoid climate collapse".
