What are the key economic and strategic implications of the declining cost of renewable energy compared to fossil fuels?

According to a new report by the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA), over 90% of renewable energy projects globally are now cheaper than fossil fuel alternatives. Solar power is 41% cheaper than the cheapest fossil fuel, and onshore wind power costs have dropped by more than half. This cost reduction is due to widespread use of clean technologies, massive Chinese manufacturing focus on emissions reduction, and $2 trillion in investment last year—$800 billion more than fossil fuels.
