Why haven't we seen photovoltaics on a large scale? For one, 2020 tech wasn't as good as 2023 tech. And 2026 tech might be far better.
What you think is "literally impossible" isn't. It's impossible with today's tech. But new stuff is getting far more efficient and cost effective. In truth we'll always have a mix of sources, but it appears that solar can and should be a far larger piece than it is.
Knee-jerk dismissals aren't any smarter than unfounded optimism.

When photovoltaics become as (or near) energy dense as fossil fuels, I think there will be wider demand and increased economies of scale will make them more accessible.
