Mostly nonsense. The improvements we've seen over the past decade have been improvements in manufacturing and other process, not subsidy. It truly is cheaper now, and will get cheaper still. The free market has had the baton for the past decade, at least. The main impediment is mostly the time scale of power plant projects, and the cost of intermediate storage (which has also plummeted).

And of course, this doesn't take into account our direct and indirect subsidies to the fossil fuel industry - you know, like what we spend on a military presence in the Middle East.

Citation needed. Even a market darling like Tesla benefited greatly from government subsidies on “green” technologies.

Tesla has more than doubled in size every year since it was founded. It has grown faster than Amazon did. That's not subsidy, because subsidy is bound politically and could not keep up with that sort of growth. No, that's what being the best-bet winner for a trillion dollar market looks like.
