In paragraph 2 below the chart, should “megawatt” be “megawatt-hour”?

One quibble:

"As the market for solar PV expanded, the cost of it fell. Between 1956 and 1971, the cost of solar PV electricity dropped 300 percent, to $100 per watt."

No, it didn't. Costs can rarely fall more than 100 percent because anything falling 100% ends up at a cost of 0. Didn't see the numbers behind this claim, but I'm guessing it fell much less.
