Price of Solar Energy in the United States Has Fallen to 5¢/kWh on Average

\"LBNL_Full_Logo_Final\"

Newswise — Solar energy pricing is at an all-time low, according to a new report released by Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab). Driven by lower installed costs, improved project performance, and a race to build projects ahead of a reduction in a key federal incentive, utility-scale solar project developers have been negotiating power sales agreements with utilities at prices averaging just 5¢/kWh. These prices reflect receipt of the 30% federal investment tax credit, which is scheduled to decline to 10% after 2016, and would be higher if not for that incentive. By comparison, average wholesale electricity prices across the United States ranged from 3 to 6 cents/kWh in 2014, depending on the region.

Key findings from Berkeley Lab’s latest \”Utility-Scale Solar\” report – which each year draws upon large volumes of empirical data to identify key trends in project costs, performance, and pricing among ground-mounted solar projects larger than 5 megawatts (MW) – include the following:

LETTERS TO THE ED: Opiate Addiction Endangers Our Youth

 

Dear Editor,

 
While addiction to opiate-based prescription painkillers and their illegal street cousin, heroin has spread to all demographic and age groups, teenagers and young adults are particularly at risk.
 
The teenage years are a \”critical window of vulnerability for substance abuse disorders,\” according to the National Institute of Drug Abuse, \”because the brain is still developing and still malleable\”. The parts of the brain that are attracted to drug use mature before the parts of the brain that are responsible for making sound, non-impulsive decisions. People who begin their drug use in the teenage years are much more likely to become addicted and abuse drugs, including opiates, as adults.
