You are a hlf wit.
High prices were neccessary to get the industry started.

No they weren't

All our power industries have governemt subsidies.

but we don't need to subsidise this one

making electricity from PV as a commercial exercise is a stupid game to
be playing. PV is the option of last resort for locations where it's
that or nothing.

The clothheads are planning that right now.

The cost of renewable fuel is zero and always will be.
Infra structure has always been expensive ands always will be.

them in 25 years is not helping

No one knows for sure the lifespan of todays solar panels. But some have
run for forty years.
It has to be rolling programme of replacement/installation.

Yep. Breathing space to getr the nukes built ...
