So you're officially saying that it will be too cheap to meter?

As you surely know, that's been said before, mostly about nuclear fusion and fission breeder reactors, both of which have inexhaustible resources. What's different this time? There's still absolutely massive amounts of major equipment needed in a wind/solar dominated energy system.

Often people consider 50-70 years to be a long time. I think the point is that we will get there, and it will seem like it had always been this way.
