I suspect this projection doesn't take account of the booming investment in energy storage..
Sounds obvious — but wrong: Solar keeps getting cheaper ⇒ outcompete coal But actually, with more solar, prices decline (because all solar is simultaneous) When adjusted for value, solar $/kWh doesn't outcompete coal in India https://www.iea.org/newsroom/news/2019/february/is-exponential-growth-of-solar-pv-the-obvious-conclusion.html …pic.twitter.com/L0kH1lZyP7

Do you mean the huge cost of adding just an hour of backup for when the sun doesn't shine, compared to digging it up & throwing it on the fire as needed?

You’ve forgotten to value adjust for air pollution, lung disease, and ghg emissions

Because they're not part of the market cost of producing the electricity. The numbers for solar don't include externalities either (e.g. toxic products of manufacture & disposal, threats to endangered desert wildlife).

Sounds even more obvious. If wind & solar are now cheaper than coal why have electrcity prices gone up most and why are they staying up where wind and solar have been most heavily adopted? Guardianomics? https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2019/mar/25/coal-more-expensive-wind-solar-us-energy-study …

Air pollution in India cuts life expectancy by as much as 11 years!
