How has the solar wind evolved to reach what it is today? In this review, I discuss the long-term evolution of the solar wind, including the evolution of observed properties that are intimately linked to the solar wind: rotation, …
Wind and solar are the cheapest solutions. Solar and wind power costs have been declining rapidly. During the decade to 2020, the cost of wind and solar power fell by 55% and 85%, respectively.The cost of batteries, increasingly used to store renewable electricity, also fell by 85% over the same time period.
Solar and wind are popular renewable energy sources in the US right now. But which will take the lead in 2022? An expert weighs up the pros and cons.
