Why did renewables become so cheap so fast?

The fundamental driver of this change is that renewable energy technologies follow learning curves, which means that with each doubling of the cumulative installed capacity their price declines by the same fraction. More growth will mean even more growth. Making renewable energy irresistible: Technological progress somewhere turns into
