MARIA ELENA, Chile, Atacama Desert, solar farms,
. . . when the Chilean government invited utility companies to bid on public contracts.
. . . Solar producers dominated the auction,
. . . offering to supply electricity at about 1/2 the cost of coal-fired plants, and
. . . it wasn't because of a government subsidy for alternative energy.

According to a survey by the Sierra Club, and other activist groups,
. . . construction of coal-fired power plants dropped
. . . 62% over the past year worldwide, and
, , , 85% in China last year for new permits.

China produces more than
. . . 2/3 of the world's PV panels, and their price has fallen more than
. . . 80% since 2008.
