Why Fossil Fuels Are Having Such A Hard Time Competing With Renewables

October 5, 2025/

  1. It keeps getting harder to find and extract fossil fuels.
  2. Renewable technology lowers costs far faster than technology improves fossil fuel cost due to Wright’s law.
  3. People don’t like the negative effects of fossil fuels — namely, pollution and carbon impact — so they discourage its use.
