Reminds me of the meme using the Donnie Darko psychologist template.

Donnie: I made a new form of power generation.

Psychologist: New or steam?

Donnie: Steam...

The only truly new method of power generation we've made in the last 100 years has been photovoltaic cells. Everything else is just finding new ways to make turbines spin.

I've actually seen this same meme used in the opposite way where they did discover a new way but I don't remember enough information to find it. And I don't think it was talking about solar.
