I disagree. We'll get there. The largest source of energy in our solar system is just sitting up there blanketting the earth with 1kW/m^2 of free energy. The device to capture it (solar panel) is
a) reaching new efficiency levels over time
b) becoming cheaper to buy over time
c) its competition (electricity prices) are rising over time

All three of those trend in the same direction...to it becoming economically viable at some point.
