The European Commission has\u00a0published a thorough study regarding the different types of energy their cost. The result? The cheapest sources of energy come from solar and wind power.<\/p>\n

While many argue that coal is cheap and government support for renewable energy is costly, fossil fuels have again\u00a0been shown to cost more in the long term when taking into account\u00a0health impacts, climate change, and resource depletion. While many state that those costs shouldn\u2019t count since they are not within the realm of direct cost, it is hardly\u00a0illogical to include them in the research for the overall cost, unless your vision only extends to the next election!<\/p>\n

With that said, there are many variables at play both in the use of energy and variables in energy standards from country to country. For a more in-depth look, click here.<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
