Reply to comment by bustedbuddha in Global energy crisis is turbocharging an "extraordinary" boom in renewable energy so vast it could yet "keep alive the possibility of limiting global warming to 1.5C". by HYPERHERPADERP_
Wind is marginally cheaper when capacity weighted.
Fossil fuel gas is still cheaper in some areas and coal costs less up front (but not after running it for a couple of years). These margins are rapidly shrinking though.
The overriding biggest advantage of renewables is stability, predictability and security. Sunlight doesn't suddenly jump to $1000/MWh or develop corrosion issues that take all winter to fix.
