good question, it opens up a very deep rabbit hole.

at a high level, i agree that the state funded renewable subsidies led to bad investing decisions that are harming our available energy options today.

i also think that solar cost declines are going to make it a very compelling option when combined with the cost declines in batteries.

we’re not there yet, but trending in that direction. i suspect when we get there there will also be much better options for recycling these materials and i do think they are a step towards a more sustainable energy supply. tesla is innovating in the panel/battery recycling space.

i also think nuclear is worth investing more money into, looks promising.
