Morgan Stanley researchers predict renewable energy will become the world's cheapest form of power within three years. An anonymous reader quotes Qz:
Renewable energy is simply becoming the cheapest option, fast... "We project that by 2020, renewables will be the cheapest form of new-power generation across the globe," with the exception of a few countries in Southeast Asia, the Morgan Stanley analysts said in a report published Thursday... Globally, the price of solar panels has fallen 50% between 2016 and 2017, they write. And in countries with favorable wind conditions, the costs associated with wind power "can be as low as one-half to one-third that of coal- or natural gas-fired power plants." Innovations in wind-turbine design are allowing for ever-longer wind blades; that boost in efficiency will also increase power output from the wind sector, according to Morgan Stanley.

The researchers also predict America will reach its Paris Climate Accord targets in 2020 -- five years early -- simply because renewables are already becoming the cheapest option for power.

Absolutely.

At least as much as booze and cigarettes.

Let it pay for the new infrastructure.

What? And let the free market work?

Anarchist.
 
The free market is already working. Solar and wind are becoming the preferred investment in energy worldwide. And it is all about cost. As the grid scale batteries are installed, even the already low cost of solar and wind produced energy will decline even further. In a generation, coal fire plants with be a memory, and the gas fired plants will be little used auxiliary plants.
