True. The most likely reason it won’t happen is just because solar power is on a massive hockey stick growth pattern. Global solar power capacity grew 2.5x from 2020 to 2024. From 2023-2024, we added the equivalent of the total global solar capacity in 2017.
Why? Solar is extremely modular, relatively simple and standardized to set up & maintain, which eliminates huge amounts of risk as an infrastructure project. (The less bespoke a project, the less likely it’ll have a severe cost overrun.)
