The good news is, there will be no fossil infrastructure for clean tech to compete with in the developing world; they will leapfrog right to renewables, battery storage, and electric vehicles. India and Africa will not have the struggle the developed world has getting off of their stranded fossil assets and supply chain.
Why do such articles not distinguish between the cheapest and that which is the cheapest? Including this one.
One might reasonably make a long-term policy for new power plants such as "40% of new power from the cheapest source, 20% each from x, y and z". If x is cheapest in a particular year then gets 60%, and articles tend to describe it as if the preference were "60% x, 20% each from y and z", see? Why is that?
