Comment on Google R&D team's goal: Make renewables cheaper than coal "in a few years"parentComments−danielharan15yUpvoted. Same with Wind. Learning curves are bringing costs down below that of coal and nuclear.Solar is already in plenty of niches - from highway signage to parking kiosks. Every niche helps increase production, which reduces price per unit.This is why I support subsidies - unlike for oil or nuclear, they're actually working to get costs down.
