Good news: Mother Earth just got a raise, and she didn’t even have to unionize. Solar and wind power are now cheaper than coal in many countries. That’s right, clean energy isn’t just for smug Prius owners anymore; it’s the budget-friendly choice even accountants can love.

Coal had a good run (well, a smoky, lung-clogging run), but renewables are coming in hot, or breezy. Imagine telling your power bill, “Surprise! We went green AND saved money.” That’s like ordering a kale salad and finding out it comes with free fries.

This isn’t just about hugging trees, it’s about hugging your wallet too. As turbines spin and panels shine, the fossil fuel industry looks more outdated than dial-up internet.

So if you’re young, or just young at heart, you can look forward to a future where the clean choice is also the cheap choice. Ethics and economics? Finally swiping right on each other.
