      I constantly hear about or see data that solar and wind power are quite a bit cheaper than other methods by now.

          Well, in the short-term, yeah. But for the mid- to long-term, it’s quite a traditional investment. Pay some money now to build renewables and decommission coal power plants, but eventually break even, because the running cost per kWh produced is quite a bit lower.
