Solar and Wind Just Passed Another Big Turning Point

It has neve It has never made less sense to build fossil fuel power plants. r made less sense to build fossil fuel power plants. Wind power is now the cheapest electricity to produce in both Germany and the U.K., even without government subsidies, according to a new analysis by Bloomberg New Energy Finance (BNEF). It's the first time that threshold has been crossed by a G7 economy. But that's less interesting than what just happened in the U.S.  To appreciate what's going on there, you need to understand the  capacity factor . That's the percentage of a power plant's maximum potential that's actually achieved over time. Consider a solar project. The sun doesn't shine at night and, even during the day, varies in brightness with the weather and the seasons. So a project that can crank out 100 megawatt hours of electricity during the sunniest part of the day might produce just 20 percent of that when averaged out over...
