    Solar electric was worse than hydro, or just about anything else, and more expensive per watt, as well. Decades went by, the cells got more efficient and cheaper production techniques, and suddenly they were a competitive option. None of that changes that they were, initially, a very bad choice, and only made sense if money wasn’t a factor for the person installing it.

    The same goes for hydrogen. Maybe it will be big in the future, but as it stands now it isn’t an option for many people.
