'Like a flea on an elephant's back': The unexpected rise of solar power

Solar power is forecast to overtake coal as the world's biggest source of electricity next year, and its growth shows no signs of slowing down. Behind its success is a little-known Australian inventor.

@Heliograph I heard a YouTuber refer to gas and coal as "disposable energy" and I haven't been able to un-hear it
