That’s right folks. Free power from the sun can actually cost LESS than getting power from fossil fuels.
\nNow, I know what you’re thinking. “How is it possible? How can electric power made from the sun hitting solar panels be cheaper than electricity made from oil or gas, that have to be discovered, dug out of the ground, transported to a refinery to be refined into burnable fuel, then transported back to the power plants to be burned?”
\nYeah. That’s exactly why it’s cheaper.
