      Today fossil fuels – coal, oil, and gas – account for 79% of the world’s energy production. But as this chart shows they have very large negative side effects.pic.twitter.com/1Q4IUknSpn

      Why is the world relying on power from fossil fuels if they cause so many deaths and such large greenhouse gas emissions?  Because in the past they were *far cheaper* than other sources of energy.

      This tells us what has to change if we want to gid of fossil fuels. If we want the world to be powered by safer and cleaner alternatives (see the chart above), then we have to make sure that those alternatives are cheaper than fossil fuels.

      This chart shows how the electricity prices from the long-standing sources of power – fossil fuels and nuclear – have changed over the last decade.pic.twitter.com/2wfWdw9cEW

      The ‘levelized costs of energy’ (LCOE) is explained in the post. A tweet-length explanation: If you are a power plant owner it’s the answer to this question: What would be the minimum price that my customers need to pay so that the power plant breaks even over its lifetime?

      Now look at how the price of power from renewables has changed. In the last 10 years power from new wind power plants became 70% cheaper. Power from new solar got 89% cheaper! From $359 per MWh to $40.pic.twitter.com/4ANfzaQIds

      Replying to @MaxCRoser

      Do you have a link to the interactive version of this graph? I would like to get it in a different aspect ratio. I tried to play around with the Data Explorer, but couldn't get it to this viewhttps://ourworldindata.org/explorers/energy …
