The main point is that subsidies has created the solar market which is steadily moving toward sustainability without the subsidies. It will happen in some geographies much faster than others and it may not happen everywhere, but in the long run, it will be a success story for humanity, with the exception that it could have been done much sooner if countries had been willing to invest in developing the technology sooner.
