Solar Generation Costs on Track to Achieve Grid Parity

You got it all wrong. Since the price of coal and natural gas is largely controlled (artificially) by giant multi-national companies and energy cartels, the price of gas and coal is rising to meet the price of renewable fuels (because it can). Obviously improving technology has had the same impact on coal and gas extraction as it has had on renewables, it has made it cheaper. And yet the price rises. Once parity is achieved, the price of coal and gas will be lowered dramatically so that the coal and gas companies don't lose customer share to green technologies. Without subsidies and government price controls to protect green technologies, the coal and gas companies will be hard to beat. Many green technology companies will bite the dust when the prices of fossil fuels inevitably drop. In a free market we wouldn't need price controls, but anyone who thinks energy is a free market is delusional.
