Example Sentence: In the past decade, Renewable (onshore wind or solar) energy’s prices have plummeted (decreased). Because while the cost of fossil fuel (coal/oil/gas)-generated electricity depends on the cost of those fuels, the renewable costs are all about the cost of the technology – costs that come down fast as we use more of them. Renewable energy’s plummeting price should put the wind in our sails.
