Solar panels are pretty cheap. If lack of energy were a problem, I'd expect a lot more of them.

They are cheap, but production of them is currently growing roughly exponentially, so I don’t think your argument holds.

The cost of energy is going towards zero while (and because) available energy is going to infinity.
