  Let's talk tech. Solar power is getting so cheap

  that it's almost unbelievable. The price to install

  new solar panels has reached a new milestone,

  traditional energy networks with a near -infinite
• 8:22
  supply, leading to shockingly low prices. Dave
• 8:27
  Jones, co -founder of Ember, stated that solar
• 8:30
  panels used to cost between $5 and $6 per watt
• 8:33
  of generation capacity, but now sell for just
• 8:36
  12 cents per watt, a price he calls offensively
• 8:40
  cheap. The price drop is largely due to a massive
• 8:44
  rise in Chinese solar panel production, making
• 8:47
  renewable energy accessible to both rich and
• 8:50
  developing countries at very low prices. And
