Wind and solar do seem to be underrated in what they’ve been able to achieve. It’s remarkable really. I don’t think the energy companies wanted us to celebrate it so the success story has been suppressed.
The fact I can buy a 550W panel for less than $200 is a wonderful thing.
I can install 8 of them on my roof, 8 wall mounted type on my south facing wall , backed by a battery and hardly have to pay for electricity again. In fact I can sell electricity and make money from it.
That is nothing short of incredible, unimaginable even 10 years ago at that price point.
The sun is the best and cleanest reactor we will ever know! We just have to understand how to harness that energy better.
