    Wow. 5x in 9 years is not quite Moore's Law speed (Moore's Law gets you 5x in 3.2 years), but it's fast enough to cause the sort of qualitative change that creates lots of unexpected opportunities.https://twitter.com/MaxCRoser/status/1312018265321992192 …

    The price for electricity from solar declined to 6.8 US-cent per kWh (no subsidies). A 5-fold decline in just 9 years. Solar getting cheap rapidly is one of the most important developments in our time. From @_HannahRitchie's excellent work on energy https://ourworldindata.org/energy  pic.twitter.com/Kt0w67ExvJ

        The new ultra-cheap EVs made for the Chinese and Indian markets have a lot of potential. American buyers may not want them as primary vehicles. But as ride-share vehicles in cities? Second vehicles? They're so dang cheap. https://twitter.com/pauleastwd/status/1311347067894276097 …

        The next big issue is efficient storage of excess production for use in off hours. California already has a wasted surplus due to lack of storage capacity. Tesla car batteries with vehicle to grid capability is an option that seems inevitable.

        I never really appreciated the power before of moving to small scale low cost technologies so you can innovate rapidly versus big lumpy high cost technologies where a lot of coordination is needed so innovation is very slow.
