Key Insights
- 🔮 Tony Seba's prediction of zero or negative electricity costs is on course to become a reality within a couple of years.
- 🚗 The capability of 1.6 million mile EV powertrains and 20-year batteries challenges previous expectations and demonstrates the exponential progress of solar technology.
- 🏗️ The cost of solar PV drops below the cost of building materials such as structural plywood, blurring the line between construction and energy as builders use PV as building material because it is cheaper, making the effective cost of electricity zero or even negative.
- 🌞 Solar is now so cheap it can be used as a construction material.
- 💡 Every human should have the right to generate, store, and trade electrons, similar to how we have the right to generate, store, and trade bits and bytes.
- 🔑 Eventually, because of this happening, electricity costs will go below zero or they will be at marginal cost.
