New study shows steep decrease in renewable energy costs with no signs of slowing

[Orangecat]

Solar is kicking ass and calling names!

Calculators rejoice! Someone get them a BMF belt!

A new study? From last year but no link to the study and there will never be. With Renewable Energy Studies, Democrats dictate what the study says, despite what the actual study does say.

The problems with this OP, this thread, which should be immediately pointed out by anyone responding is where is the study?

The link takes us to yahoo.com, not the study, but the Propaganda.

New study shows steep decrease in renewable energy costs with no signs of slowing: ‘Technological progress provides a ray of hope’

Wind power, heat pumps, and other clean energy technologies are also seeing a dramatic price drop.

Within the propaganda piece they link to another article, kind of like making a copy of a copy, each time the copy is made the truth fades out.

Solar and battery storage prices have dropped almost 90% in 10 years

The cost of solar power has fallen by 87%, and battery storage by 85% in the past decade, according to a new study – here's why.

electrek.co

According to a study released by Germany’s Mercator Research Institute on Global Commons and Climate Change (MCC), the cost of solar power has dropped 87% and battery storage by 85% in the past decade, as Electrek reports.

The study was not there, either, but we do get another link. The link is not to the study or the authors of the study but to a hide the study behind the paywall website. We do get an abstract.

Berlin-based scientific think tank Mercator Research Institute on Global Commons and Climate Change (MCC) has released a new study in the journal Energy Research & Social Science

Reading the abstract, it is easy to see that this not an actual study on the cost of renewable energy but a study of other studies? A study of other studies!!!
The new research/study is not new at all if they research old studies?

If I look at some of the references, I find out this "new" research is based on old research, and that old research is not from relevant data, but other studies!!!!!!!!

I will pick one at random
