> Thanks to subsidies, solar and wind power have become cheaper by several orders of magnitude

Subsidies have helped some to create more demand but the idea that they become better by orders of magnitude because of subsidies is absurd and totally against all economic logic.

Those things that had the best development are those things that are already useful anyway.

There are tons of things that got subsidies that never went anywhere.
