Solar And Wind is Now Cheaper Than Coal, But Fossil Fuel Use Grows
One more of those jubilant pieces. Why are they even necessary. I mean, if wind and solar are really the cheapest, nothing can hold them back on their march sweeping the market. No propaganda necessary – the market would do it all and lets be frank, if they would really be cost-effective, renewable advocates would be first in line to abolish all market hindrances and let capitalism do its worst. But that’s not what they want, they still need lots of political goodwill for survival and the reason is that they know that their apples are not apples at all but rather wild, hard, inedible pears. Factor this in (loo at the various blackouts for proof) and the equation looks very different.
