Why Investors Have Learned to Love Wind and Solar Power

<a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;archive.is&#x2F;qfpdV" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;archive.is&#x2F;qfpdV</a><p>&quot;After a stormy, dependent youth, the wind-and-solar-energy industries have matured into boring, profitable middle age. This year’s plunging interest rates make that a more appealing proposition than ever for investors. Wind turbines and solar panels, which once proliferated thanks to government handouts, now produce energy more cheaply than coal and natural gas.&quot;

Seems like the biggest win came from &quot;Chinese manufacturers sell solar panels at a fifth of the price a decade ago.&quot;, everything else is just a corollary.

because the Government forces the public to buy it, subsidise its production, invest in its distribution infrastructure, without any requirement to deliver 24&#x2F;7.<p>Wouldn&#x27;t it be great if all businesses could do that.
