> Your example on the other hand I didn't find. I didn't find anyone claiming that two questions are duplicate of one another in different programming languages unless the language is not relevant.

Did... Did you just mentally mark my comment as a duplicate question and copy/paste an unrelated answer?

Comments are not for extended discussion. The important relevant information that was here has been moved to a confusing different page where it will never be seen again.

Have you ever read its sequel?

If you haven't, it's pretty bad and definitely a factor in why the original didn't have very much cultural impact.

This entire article seems to be based on an assumption that the cost of batteries will go down 33% over the next 10 years because demand is so high, but costs of gas turbines will go up over the next 10 years because demand is so high.

Neither of these assumptions are based on anything other than "That's the number we had to put in to the model to get the conclusion we want".

That's straight-up incorrect. A massive new investment is by definition expense-neutral.

Negative cash flow from investing means that some prior investment has been shown to be worth far less than they paid for it.
