I wasn't aware just how good the news is on the green energy front until reading this. We still have a tough road in the short/medium term, but we are more or less irreversibly headed in the right direction.

I don't know about irreversibly, but the remarkable and consistent gains in solar technology especially are extremely exciting.

As soon as one of these prototype next-gen batteries hit, that's it for fossil fuel.

It's already not worth it to continue using fossil fuel commercially, but as soon as the next-gen power storage is able to be produced on scale, power plants are changing, phones, computers, cars, everything's going to change.

I can't see that being more than a decade out, but even if nexgen battery tech doesn't hit, the constant improvement on s***** traditional battery tech now is improving rapidly.

It is a very exciting time and energy production and storage.

Even batteries and wind have seen some pretty serious cost reduction. It's looking pretty great for renewables.
