Since that was me, let me say how idiotic that objection is. It (the
sun) *is* inexhaustable for all intents and purposes, since when the sun
finally does go out, the game's over for all of us.

The problem is it still isn't connected to the grid in any
cost-effective manner that can contribute more than fractional
percentages of demand and it doesn't appear likely that that can change
within any near term horizon.
