Solar Energy Costs Fall to Historic Lows

Ryan, nowhere in IEA's World Energy Outlook does it say "solar power is now the cheapest source of electricity in history for most countries in the world."

Here's what it does say:

"With sharp cost reductions over the past decade, solar PV is consistently cheaper than new coal- or gas- fired power plants in most countries...".

As an intermittent, unreliable source of electricity, it's worth a lot less, too. I would say "You get what you pay for," but in every market in which it's been introduced, customers' rates have risen - it's worth a lot less than what you pay for. Why is that?
