What a misleading chart. A lot of this discussion about solar reminds me of the peak oil discussion that happened around 2005.

Oil is tanking due to US non-conventional oil and fracking. I think natural gas power generation will be relevant for decades.

Petroleum is a great way to store energy. Battery technology hasn't improved a whole lot in 200 years.
