Indeed, arguing that wind and solar is cheapest is a meme employed by green lobbyists, activists and politicians around the world. Unfortunately, as the $1.8 trillion price-tag shows, the claim is wildly deceptive.

    Why malaria still persists in much of Africa

    News, Bjorn Lomborg, Published on 12/06/2023
