If I buy an electric car, it will do infinity MPG if worked on a cash
basis. I can charge it from my solar panels.

Er, we're talking about relative fuel costs aren't we?
All fuels have a capital cost implication.
But solar has no primary fuel source such as gas oil or coal.
So you buy your panels and there are no other costs apart from repair
s if by badluck you need any..


Well, if you bought an underground tank of petrol and forget the purchase
price, that would provide free fuel too. Until it ran out. Solar panels
failing with time, exactly the same.


I don't have to fill a solar panel with increasingly expensive fuel,
it never "runs out." It is a one off cost. The energy it produces
becomes increasingly valuable as time goes by..
This is what renewable means, Don't you understand that? It's simple
enough.
If I bought a petrol generator,I would have to buy petrol forever more.
