Re:The big opportunity for capitalism: solar (Score 1)

Like everything there is a saturation point in solar energy: exposed area. Anyway, cheap energy will never be a cure for poverty and malnutrition. People get richer will simply consume more and people not dying will increase population. After some time, everything will stabilize and in proportion the number of rich and poor will stay the same.

The only viable option is to consume less and increase efficiency to become less dependent on energy (any source). Transporting goods in all cases is the worst thing to do.
