Most new wind and solar projects will be cheaper than coal, report finds:
Almost two-thirds of wind and solar projects built globally last year will be able to generate cheaper electricity than even the world's cheapest new coal plants, according to a report from the International Renewable Energy Agency (Irena).
The agency found that the falling cost of new windfarms and solar panels meant 62% of new renewable energy projects could undercut the cost of up to 800 gigawatts (GW) worth of coal plants, or almost enough to supply the UK's electricity needs 10 times over.
Solar power costs fell by 16% last year, according to the report, while the cost of onshore wind dropped 13% and offshore wind by 9%.
In less than a decade the cost of large-scale solar power has fallen by more than 85% while onshore wind has fallen almost 56% and offshore wind has declined by almost 48%. Francesco La Camera, Irena's director general, said the agency's latest research proved the world was "far beyond the tipping point of coal".
He said: "Today renewables are the cheapest source of power. Renewables present countries tied to coal with an economically attractive phase-out agenda that ensures they meet growing energy demand, while saving costs, adding jobs, boosting growth and meeting climate ambition."

You're not garbage - I don't get entertained by garbage. You're a loser and an incel here for my entertainment.

Whether you think I lie is an opinion that's up to your autistic brain. You being an autistic social reject incel is the opinion of the world, and the biology of the incurable disease within your defective physical body. I don't lie in any post, but again, you are free to believe what you want. The defective brain disease you have is what provides you with the conspiracy theory that someone who wants attention would go to an unknown forum with under a hundred users. I'm here to laugh at people like you, as that entertains me. Nothing more, nothing less. Enjoy your porn.

yes, but have you considered that autism is an incurable brain disease in your genetically defective body?

I'm not here to know your insecurities. Whether you're secure or not about your diagnosed or undiagnosed autism, is irrelevant to me. I'm here to make fun of you because things you say are how an incel with autism talks. It is entertaining to me. That is the only purpose of any interaction I have with you.

Hah. Soooo untrue, you needed that to upset me. Fail. ;)
No doubt using the trial-by-error approach to find some little crack in my armor endlessly entertaining for you. Watching you be wrong over and over again is fun for me... so it's mutual! I'm happy to be of service!!

yes yes, I'm lying about taking a piss while reading your reply. Got any more conspiracy theories? I'm sure you do. Conspiracies everywhere, patterns everywhere, signs of autism everywhere. Take your pills buddy. There's a reason they're prescribed to you.
