The cynics were saying, look, it's way too expensive, and that right there, it's a deal killer.
Not thinking, well, yeah, it needs to progress.
The technology is not going to, like, tomorrow all of a sudden be above the waterline.
Investments need to happen.
They also were saying that the efficiency and reliability were not there at all, like the reliability of the technology and being able to get it into the grid and all that stuff.
Yeah, it really wasn't there back in 2008.
They were correct, but it wasn't something to say that would make you not want to invest the money and keep pushing the technology.
They thought that the solar industry was too dependent on government subsidies.
And you know what?
Back then it was.
And I think that's fine because the governments are there to create new industries and put money into programs that in the future will pay off.
They were saying that it will never be able to compete with coal, gas, and nuke.
And they were wrong.
They also said that the grid integration is going to be too difficult.
