This article is the clearest and best organized reflection I have read in a long time. The touch of humor is a wonderful spice to make the information easily understood. Thank you.

This was a big part of the initial reason for me to invest in Tesla. People still don't seem to understand the power of exponentially falling costs of renewable energy. Combined with falling costs and increasing capabilities of digital intelligence, we are about to enter an age where the two constraints on the economy will no longer be constrains. This is as big as the industrial revolution. Perhaps bigger.

Even if we take for granted, that costs of stable, realible NON INTERMITTENT ENERGY will significantly fall, I don't see how that be possible for transmission and distribution costs, which are large part of total price of electricity, for end users. In fact, I think they wil raise significantly, as enormous investments into transmission&distribution of electricity are necessary, given much more dispersed and MUCH LESS reliable nature of (in fact non green) renewable resources.

If the world is moving to cheap electricity then the best conductors and storage of this energy will do well with more technological advances. This suggest SILVER will out perform as a its great with this energy and is also been research in battery technology and solar etc
