Contrary to popular belief,
. . . wind power is the cheapest energy option across the globe.
. . . In fact, last year, the US installed more wind power capacity
. . . than from any other energy source.
The news comes from a recent report prepared by
. . . Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory and released by the
. . . US Department of Energy (DOE), which noted that
. . . the demand for energy was up and prices offered by wind projects
. . . to utility purchasers averaged $40/MWh.
This translates to $0.04 kWh.
