Outcome
Partly right Happened 31 December 2020.
The main part came true on time: IRENA found that in 2020, 62% of newly added renewable power cost less than the cheapest new fossil fuel option, and solar PV costs had fallen 85% since 2010. But he also named hydrogen, and low-emission hydrogen was still well above fossil-based hydrogen in cost by 2022. So this is scored partial, the more cautious outcome.
