Solar now being the cheapest energy source made its rounds on Lemmy some weeks ago, if I remember correctly. I just found this graphic and felt it was worth sharing independently.

It’s frustrating seeing a graph showing the price of electricity going down while my utility prices go up. Does this take into account infrastructure cost?
The reason utilities are going up in actual costs to the consumer (apart from inflation, which is another kettle of fish) is greed and crappy inadequate government oversight tho
All the major electricity providers in my country have dramatically increased their prices in the last few years, stating how hard done by they are and how difficult it is, increased costs, inflation, covid, other bullshit excuses.
And they have all also made record profits year-on-year, while spinning this bullshit lines to us.
And their executives have continued to receive massive pay packets each year.
