Renewables Gaining on Fossil Fuels Despite Reports to the Contrary

Despite flawed reports to the contrary, renewable energy is becoming increasingly price competitive compared to fossil fuels. Regardless of the metrics used, wind and photovoltaic (PV) solar are growing fast due in large part to declining costs and improving productivity.

Whether comparisons are done based on levelized cost of energy, saved carbon, cash flow profile, financial return, annual and cumulative installed capacity or global investment renewable energy (wind & PV)  fare very well and are improving all the time.


A Brookings Institution working paper by economist Charles R. Frank Jr. erroneously claimed that solar and wind were more costly than previously thought. His flawed analysis was inaccurate because it relied on outdated data. To make matters worse the paper was the basis for an article in The Economist which received considerable attention.

Put simply Frank’s analysis is flawed because it is premised on inaccurate and outdated assumptions. Frank considers solar and wind to be more expensive and less productive than they actually are and oil and gas to be less expensive and more productive than they actually are.
