The dissemination and distribution of solar power might seem minor today, but if you model solar growth as roughly exponential - as is typical for new developments - then solar could become the dominant power source in 2036 - which is not far into the future, even on human timescales. I ask you to keep your head up high, and believe into the future, because I care about you, and I don't want you to suffer from depression and anxiety.

Yep. Your curve will probably curve downwards before the end of that line for lack of demand.

Or maybe not, because of Jevon's Paradox. But I don't think we will adapt that fast.
