Why give an inaccurate subject line? The actual title of the article in
The Independent is:
"Solar power becoming world's cheapest form of electricity production,
analysts say". That word "becoming" is there for a reason.


A couple of quotes from the article:
"Renewable energy is cheap in developing countries that are looking to
add more electricity to their national grids."


"However, in rich nations where new renewable energy generators must
compete with existing fossil fuel power stations the cost of carbon-free
electricity can be higher."


Zealots! Sheesh...


The one thing you can be sure of is fossil
fuel energy will go up as the years go on.


Sure, but that might well be in hundreds of years with coal.

If the cost of the energy from the sun does too we're in real trouble.


Nope, we'll just use nukes.
