Not sure exactly, my focus of research over the past 5 years has been mostly on energy/automotive, haven't read anything from his opinions outside of those two.

Tony Seba over at RethinkX does great work and has a proven track record. Plenty of charts in his recent talks, but go back 5 years there and it's damn accurate to today.
It's about cost per kwh, not about effectiveness of one building.

Energy generation will obviously through market forces alone become sustainable. If you look at any trend over the last 10 years it is beyond obvious. Even dirty generating power plants are more efficient than in vehicle combustion.

Finally a logical comment not being downloaded to hell. Kind of shocked. I own a Tesla and have never noticed any actual issues.

If you had a field of these 26.81% efficient solar panels in the same footprint of a nuclear power plant (including all off limit areas and borders), this would generate the same amount of electricity. Throw some batteries in there and you've got yourself a much better system in that you don't need to wait 10 years to put it up.
