I absolutely HATE this
I'm agreeing with Phantom
Costs are going down and they are still going to go down

Cummins can make (17 years ago) a 300 hp 6 litre diesel and sell it for $2000 and make a profit

Batteries will get down to close to the material cost - $20 Kwhr for Lithium Ion
Solar panels will also get close to the material cost - $50 Kw

And that is with existing technology - with some of the new stuff it will go even lower

The "floor" on the existing technology is at about 1/10th of the current cost

Hi Karter
You are talking retail prices
I bet that wholesale prices for those things have gone down

And if there is a steady price difference then more manufacturers will get on board

As far as $50/kw for transportation - how many Kw can you get in a 20ft container?
I'm thinking something around 500 Kw - and $2000 to ship
So that would add a further $8 /Kw for shipping costs
