Deep declines in wind, solar and battery technology costs will result in a grid nearly half-powered by the two fast-growing renewable energy sources by 2050, according to the latest projections from BloombergNEF (BNEF). NEO starts by analyzing technology trends and fuel prices to build a least cost view of the changing electricity sector.

Coal still supplies more power in the US than anything else, with natural gas next.
