It won’t go anywhere unless the pipelines are built to move it to market.

The under-discussed angle in “vs solar” arguments is independence. I can collect solar power at home; I can’t dig & process shale. With an EV and solar roof, I can continue if the grid & gas go down.

Solar was born in 1953 and since that time it has maybe gotten 5% more efficient. It seems that every decade some new group invest large sums hoping for a break thru, but nada.The life expectancy of the latest systems of about 20 years may break even assuming the price of energy “necessarily sky rockets” or be a loss if it doesn’t.
