Solar photovoltaic modules have dropped about 75% in price.
. . . Current scientific and technological advances in the laboratory
. . . suggest that they will soon be so cheap
. . . that the principal cost of going solar
. . . on residential and commercial buildings will be installation.
On-shore wind power is spreading over all continents and
. . . is economically competitive with fossil and nuclear power in several regions.
Concentrated solar thermal power (CST) with thermal storage
. . . has the potential for further cost reductions of about 50%.
Denmark and Scotland, have official targets for 100% renewable electricity,
Germany will have to achieve close to 100 per cent renewable electricity too.
. . . The governments of these countries are not just talking
. . . . . . they are implementing policies to achieve their targets.
Studies from the USA and Europe,
. . . have busted the myth that renewable energy cannot supply base-load demand.
