Price of solar dropped 89% in ten years - Feddit

Solar now being the cheapest energy source made its rounds on Lemmy some weeks ago, if I remember correctly. I just found this graphic and felt it was worth sharing independently. Source: https://ourworldindata.org/cheap-renewables-growth [https://ourworldindata.org/cheap-renewables-growth]

Pretty clearly shows why there’s no future for nuclear power.

Even for filling gaps in renewables, peaker plants are getting cheaper and don’t take 15 years to build.

This is always a weird take to me because it always ignores the fact that nuclear has been screwed continuously for decades. If any other tecbology, renewable energy or not, had the same public and private blockers did it would also have no future.

Nuclear has been screwed by its own track record.

Why do you think it’s had such a wide coalition of public and private opponents?

you mean the part where it generated a shit ton of carbon free reliable power while killing fewer people per watt-hour what any other method? with outdated 60's technology too? yeah sure sounds like a failure
