In just five years, the cost of generating electricity from wind turbines has fallen 58 percent, while the cost of solar power has plunged a breathtaking 78 percent, the Advanced Energy Economy Institute reported in a study that came out this week.

Utility-scale solar power costs less than nuclear and, in most cases, competes favorably with coal and natural gas, even before federal incentives are added.For story, go to: https://medium.com/natural-resources-defense-council/a-triple-play-for-progress-52c33372bdb8
