Cheap natural gas-fired power?
Not in Indiana according to Duke Energy
A cool USD 2236/kW on a brownfield site - and that doesn't include the gas pipeline, so not comparable to solar/wind
That is more or less twice what most expansion models assume globally
Is this the new norm for the U.S.?

I was working mostly on cost data, so here you see the major projects for which we found cost data by feedstock.
Note this isn't necessarily representative of the global shares, just the data we found for costs...
this doesn't include dedicated energy crops...
