Wind and solar power have gotten so cheap that other forms of renewable energy have been relegated to science labs and the dustbins of history.

As wind turbines and solar farms sprout around the world, investments in other technologies that produce power — from waves, geothermal steam pockets, rivers, biomass and more — have dropped off a cliff. Even those gleaming mirrors in the desert that focus sunshine onto thermal generators can’t compete on price with photovoltaic panels, and they probably never will.

Some of the world’s biggest fossil-fuel producers are calling on taxpayers to help them kick their pollution habit.

The world’s biggest oil, natural gas and mining companies are stepping up their campaign to deploy carbon capture and storage, or CCS, as way to slow global warming. But with a potential $90-billion-a-year price tag, it’s too rich for them to do it on their own.

It is clear that nuclear power is to be a major part of bringing Vision 2030 to life.
