How long until solar replaces oil for energy?

When it gets more efficient or less expensive.

Fossil fuels will always be best for variable mechanical energy

Fuck solar. The PV cells needed for its production is massively polluting.
Go nuclear for fuck sake

>> No.11637118

When anyone can hook up a solar installation to the grid without having to pay an insane and arbitrary amount to power companies. So probably never in the US. Too many corporate shills.

They aren't even the best now. A Tesla can outrace pretty much anything on the road except for the most expensive racing models.

They use fossil fuels to mine the materials used in EV batteries

Bitch. That's a defunct argument.
Just because they are not having a full 100% dedication to clean energy doesn't mean it's useless
For all we know, they are already making efficient mining equipment that uses renewable energy
