Cool positive article with more good news about solar, but the real good news is still missing, even hidden by your attempts to express the relative merit of solar in terms of cost per Joules / KWhr received; The Joules / KWhrs being received from it are not from Earth, so are actually uniquely gain, no matter how "efficiently or inefficiently", they are received, all of those Joules received are valuable product gained, by being mathematically added to Earth, with nothing necessarily destroyed per Joule for it, and no labor per Joule exchanged for it, therefore no pollution, and it is accumulative.

This is the fundamental difference between solar energy and all others; solar energy is creative, adding to Earth, whilst all others are destructive, subtracting from Earth in some way or another, which is their real cost.

There is no cost of solar, it is all gain.

This difference is not being talked about, but nature knows it, and will keep kicking our ass physically and economically for not knowing it or acknowledging it.

The inflation we are seeing is completely explained by this, but still no-one is talking about it.
