When the oil runs outbecomes rare/expensive and all energy costs more,
solar panels will be even more viable because they need no oil to run.

At the same time as they become more expensive to make and buy due to
the increased cost of the energy used to make them.

If you build an oil fired power station you need oil to build it and
oil to run it.

With a renewable energy source you might need oil to build it and then
nothing.
That is what TurNiP can't/won't get his fat head round.

My PV panels will last 25 years without further expense. The drop in
efficiency is less than 1%/year.
