Solar power and storage prices have dropped almost 90%
Berlin-based climate research institute Mercator Research Institute on Global Commons and Climate Change (MCC) has released a new study indicating that, in the last decade, the cost of solar power has dropped by 87 percent, and the cost of battery storage by 85 percent.

I hate to be pedantic, but the things in the picture are windmills... you know giant whirly things that are powered by wind... kind of very different from things that lie around and absorb sunlight.
You want pedantic? Those are wind turbines, champ. Windmills are used to mill grain, no matter how many people like yourself try to bastardize the term to apply to anything that rotates with air.
What's next for you people, pinwheels are now windmills?
Sorry, but not all wind mills are used for grain. Some ground stone and other material!
Or for pumping water!
Found the Dutch guy
What if the turbines are hooked up to an electric milling machine ?
Then it's a windmilf
I told you I hate to be pedantic.
Fair enough.
Thank you! Seeing this more and more often and it drives me insane.
Wait until you hear what creates wind!
Beans?
There's a man in the clouds who blows really hard.
But the plants he eats grow in sunlight.
But, but... what if we put solar panels on the windmills? ;-)
Actually I double checked and solar-assisted windmills are a thing though not likely what's shown in the picture. Actually now I'm wondering if you could also use solar to concentrate a local heat differential and power a wind turbine (though liquid is probably more efficient)
That is inefficient, we should put windmills on solar panels.
Solar Panel Windmills. Checkmate, nukular nerds.
Yes it's a stupid picture, the solar panels are in the background, not nearly as noticeable as the wind turbines.
It’s not pedantic, just wrong.
Wind power also involves batteries. This article is about solar and batteries.
