Renewable energy will only get cheaper: study
A new study has found the future prices of wind, thermal and solar power will only keep falling as more alternative power sources are switched into the energy grid.

Researchers say it proves the widespread adoption of renewable energy sources makes good economic sense.

The study was commissioned by the Government's chief climate change adviser, Ross Garnaut, and conducted by the University of Melbourne's Energy Research Institute.

1. Good. Now hurry up and build them on a massive scale
Because we don't have much time left to prevent catastrophic climate change and global crises due to fossil fuel depletion.
