Cruz Climate by Rex Sanders: The Sun Is Setting on Dirty Energy

Sonia Dunlop is the CEO of the Global Solar Council. That’s the worldwide industry association for solar and battery storage. Interview highlights include: Dirty fuels have become unreliable and expensive. Building a large, reliable solar farm with batteries costs the same as building the same size natural gas power plant. Except the fuel is free for the solar farm. The world has enough spare factory capacity to double or triple solar panel production overnight. Solar panel and battery prices have come down about 90% in the last 15 to 20 years. And the costs will continue to drop. Almost 100% of a solar panel can be fully recycled now. In 15 years we could make all new solar panels from recycled ones. Same for batteries.
