“The cost of just running a coal plant is much higher than starting a greenfield solar plant,” says Nitin Vaish, an emerging and climate change expert, also an investor in the same space. I highly recommend his insightful personal blog which goes in-depth in analyzing metrics related to the climate and energy tech landscape. He talks about batteries, per capita energy cost and how this cost is becoming lower, accelerating the adoption of clean tech: https://medium.com/@nitinvaish

He predicts that eventually, the cost of energy will come down enough to accelerate the adoption of clean energy vehicles. He has truly amazing insights on how agriculture can impact carbon footprint adversely due to the usage of ammonia-based fertilizer, food wastage is contributing to climate change, advances in multiple technologies which can accelerate better energy capacity and adoption of electric vehicles.
