The minister being quoted explicitly compared cost of new solar installs versus cost of new coal installs - that's where the "cheaper than coal" quote was taken

The minister being quoted explicitly compared cost of new solar installs versus cost of new coal installs - that's where the "cheaper than coal" quote was taken from, it's not about spot prices for solar energy (which are a senseless comparison anyway, as they go to zero and even negative in times of low demand)
EDIT: low demand, not high demand, of course
- a_imho 11y agoThanks for the clarification, it seemed to me that the writer was using these numbers to justify Goyal's claim. Without them we are left with the sentence that imo is worded exactly that way to reflect the minister's personal opinion/pr after Sun Edison bankruptcy. Which still makes it clickbaitish without any more facts.
