>and the price of electricity is plummeting thanks to renewables.

Not according to sources I can find. EIA forecasts for the long term project continued increases through 2050 [1] Maybe in locations elsewhere in the world? Or specific states in the US? Certainly not where I live, which is aggressively pursuing renewables and despite this prices continue to increase, and were doing so before the spike in natural gas prices.

That's nominal price, their inflation adjusted prices, which they also provide, drop.


Good point, I missed that. But that is still very far from plummeting. It’s a very gradual decline that assumes inflation stays above 2% (though that is probably a reasonable assumption)

I hope they will plummet, I just don’t see much pointing in that direction right now.
