@tartley@fosstodon.org @aanee@mastodon.online @infobeautiful@vis.social Well, what would be a limitting factors that would make it more expensive/more difficult to keep expanding solar?
=> running out of physical space to build panels on:
Yes but this isn't happening anytime soon and we would have beaten current world energy production well before that point is reached
=> running out or raw materials:
Plenty of time until then too, and recycling older panels could help too.

@dryak@mstdn.science @aanee@mastodon.online @infobeautiful@vis.social I totally agree. I suppose the black-pilled establishment energy industry might expect another limiting factor would be running out of loony environmentalists to sell them too, if they could only sway public opinion sufficiently. But I agree with you, they were holding back the tide.
