If solar is so cheap, why are we still dependent on oil?

While the cost of renewable energy has plummeted in recent decades, transitioning away from fossil fuels remains a complex challenge. This video explores the deep economic link between oil consumption and national GDP.

The video examines the structural difficulty of abandoning oil, despite the fact that solar power has become one of the most cost-effective methods for generating electricity over its lifetime. It investigates why the transition is not as simple as switching to cheaper alternatives, given the historical correlation between oil usage and a country's economic output.
