I do wonder where this ends. I don’t think it will be dirt cheap energy.
Jevon’s paradox will presumably generate (or scale up) massive energy-consuming use cases. Solar (and other renewables) would retain whatever cost advantage they have, but huge demand might keep non-renewable sources around for longer than we’d otherwise think.
Meanwhile ultra-cheap energy might reduce the cost of current activities, but debottlenecking always just reveals the next bottleneck.
