Solar Generation Costs on Track to Achieve Grid Parity

I think Creativeforce has a point but it's a very long term point. Even with widespread adoption or solar there will still be huge demand for fossil fuels on all levels of our economy and lives. You have to take into account for growth of our energy needs and and the ability to roll out solar on a wide scale. I believe solar will become a higher percentage of where we get energy but the need will outpace demand and prices will rise for both. If there is any decrease in coal and gas prices it will be several decades from now and mostly due to stagnant fossil prices not keeping up with inflation.
