WHAT WERE FOSSIL FUELS?:
Get ready for 24-30% reduction in cost of wind power by 2030 (MEGAN GEUSS - 11/29/2016,Ars Technica)
The median response from experts was that wind power cost could be reduced by 24 to 30 percent by 2030 based on the advances in turbine technology that are either projected or already being seen today.The authors of the study also acknowledge that estimates about wind power cost reductions have generally been conservative in the past--today in some areas wind energy is already competitive with fossil fuels.
