This article espouses the benefits of solar power once it becomes competitive with and eventually cheaper than fossil fuel power. The main point is that this will help lower wealth inequality since everyone will have access to their own cheap power. However, I don’t believe this makes complete sense because many places in the world do not have enough sunny days for solar power to completely replace fossil fuels. This does not mean that solar power won’t have a large part in the future of energy, but just that energy storage needs to improve at the same rate that solar panel costs go down.
