Solar is "offensively cheap". To live up to its promise, it also needs to be equitable.

Link: 'It's offensively cheap': How solar power is quietly becoming bigger than nuclear, by Jocelyn Timperley for the BBCThis is something we should all be excited about:“The world's solar power is crossing a threshold. A decade ago, it barely registered on a global scale, providing just 1% of the world's power. In 2026, it will almost certainly increase to 10% of power, and overtake nuclear, a mainstay of electricity since the late 1970s.”Solar energy is abundant, and the cheaper and more efficient it gets, the more electricity there will be to power anything we want. On that level alone, we should be cheering for its success.But the other property solar energy has is relative decentralization. While not anyone can build a solar panel, anyone can plug one in — and, obviously, the sun belongs to everyone. It represents real energy independence, not just internationally, but from large energy companies (at every level from fossil fuel multinationals to utilities) that have enjoyed…
