Cheaper to build new renewable capacity than to keep coal plants running
This will eventually be true for natural gas as well
Assaad Razzouk@AssaadRazzouk· Mar 29, 202499% of all US coal plants (209 out of 210) are more expensive to run (let alone build) than replacing them with new solar, wind or energy storage
Coal is going to zero % of global electricity just as soon as enough renewables are built #climate

Long-term, solar & wind with batteries wins, but mostly solar, as it crushes everything at 1GW/km^2.
The Sahara alone could power Earth several times over.
A corner of Utah or Texas could power all of North America, including Canada and Mexico.
