Cost is a trend that is changing slowly, but consistently. I started this thread with the idea that Production from Wind/Solar was now outpacing Coal Output in the US..which 10 years ago would have been a laughable thing to say.
The Response to that was
"Well its still more expensive' True it is...but this is yet just a matter of time before that "Its too expensive" argument goes the same way as
"We will never produce the same amount"
This is a thread about trends over time and Renewables have been confronting, overcoming and rewriting the books on every obstacle that traditionalist fossil fuel fans have thrown at it so far.
And if you watch closely ..the "Its too expensive" argument is about to be overtaken in the next couple of years.

I was not really sure up until the last 2-3 years if Wind/Solar would ever have enough opportunity, Legit capability or enough belief that it would even be seen as a competitor to fossil fuels. It keeps proving me and LOTS more people wrong on a consistent bases year after year
