Why do we price a barrel of oil without the military costs to protect the shipping channels. Or the short term and long term storage. While you have a point. It’s hard to deny the extreme drop in cost of solar over time. And that drop runs counter to a lot of predictions from people that said moving away from fossil fuel is impossible.


Barrels of oil are a very poor comparison, as the price is based on limited supply (which is even artificially controlled by the OPEC), where with solar and nuclear the price is much closer (and based) on manufacturing costs.
