VOODOO MAGIC?

Recent discussions have centered around Solar, Wind, Generator, Battery vs onboard power "needs" and I thought I'd add this to the crew discussion.
(Granted, it'd be much better sitting around in the cockpit watching the sunset with a "sundowner drink" in hand)

Has anyone else been following this "development"?
See this and this and this.

This is not exactly related to our "group" since it currently applies to the "stinky Diesel" plants.

I'm personally interested, as recent sailing journeys I've done have me seriously looking at larger and more blue water capable vessels which would put me in the Diesel family.
(NOT happily leaving my beloved A4 )
I'd probably have not researched as deeply as I have if it were not from one of the "Guru's" of our industry is seriously endorsing this technology.

Ok... thoughts?
(Don't shoot the messenger comes to my mind here)

EDIT: I should say that the biggest downside I see is putting all of your "power eggs" in only one basket.
