- By 2021, solar is gonna
be cheaper than coal,

a new report from Bloomberg
New Energy Finance suggests.

The new report shows
that the price of solar

"Costs of new energy
technologies are falling

"in a way that is more a
matter of when than if."

If their report is correct,
then we could see a decline

in global CO2 levels as early
as 2026, which is much sooner

than the International
Energy Agency forecast.

for these new solar farms
and account for $4 trillion

of investment, which is about
39% of the overall industry.

Now, these two countries
are still spinning up

coal plants really fast, but I
think once the price of solar

gets below where it is for
the other types of energy,

we're gonna see a big
shift really quickly.

In fact, China aims to spend
at least 360 billion with a B

on renewable energy by 2020
to fight climate change.

with the severe pollution in their cities.

Now, China is also
incentivizing their consumers,

their citizens, to buy electric vehicles,

In one way, you could say
that they're the world leaders

in shifting us into more
renewable forms of energy

and forms of transportation
such as electric vehicles.

"We're gonna bring back the coal industry,

we're gonna see prices for
solar continue to drop.

solar costs will drop by 67%
in 2040 and 63% in Canada.

That's huge but still
doesn't hold a candle

to the 85% price drop predicted in Japan.

In fact, they're looking at
a 70% price drop by 2022.

Now, I have to pause here
for a second and talk

a little bit about why I
focus on the price so much.

You see, in the US, we've
politicized the argument

over climate change, whereas
most of the rest of the world

really doesn't see it
as an argument anymore,

as more a fact and something
that we need to act upon.

That's why literally
every country in the world

So, when you have something
that is objectively

no one is gonna stop this from happening.

"that we could get cheaper and
better and easier over here."

In fact, the reason oil
and things like plastic

have been with us for
so many centuries now

is because of how cheap
and efficient they are.

If we found a better
way to do this earlier,

then we would've already made
the switch, but we haven't,

and until we started to realize the impact

that this industry is
having on our environment,

we really didn't open
our eyes to even looking

because we didn't realize
why we would want that.

for big oil or Opec or any of those folks.

Companies like BP are making
their first investment

and wind projects over the next 10 years.

This is part of the
kingdom's $50 billion program

to boost power generation
and reduce oil consumption.

Their goal is to produce
10% of their power

In the EU, things are
headed this way, also

and the report from Bloomberg
New Energy Finance projects

that by 2040, the desire or demand for oil

will drop by about 87%
due to the increased cost

put in place by the laws
that they've enacted

So all together, we're
looking at zero emission tech

like Teslas, other electric
vehicles, and home batteries

skyrocketing as the source
of energy for those products

and all of this adds up to
a cleaner, brighter future

for us and for our children
and our children's children,

and this is where today's
sponsor comes into play.

In 2016, 39% of new generation
capacity brought online

in residential and
commercial solar projects.

This is why they're
offering you as an investor

You see, banks don't understand
how to finance these things
