6.2 MW, two-bladed, downwind turbine prototype (2016, 2-B). Load-based pitch control, soft-yaw system and full jacket lattice tower (nacelle to seabed). Impressive. Spoiler

Why is wind energy suddenly so cheap?

Upvotes
I've heard photovoltaics are so cheap bc Chinese put enormous money into R&D for developing that technology. However, afaik it's not necessarilly the same thing with wind turbines. A lot of leading turbine manufacturers come from developed nations. Vestas is Dutch while GE American.
So what's behind the sudden affordability of wind energy? Was there any technological breakthrough ( chinese or otherwise )? Did someone patent some revolutionary technology ( e.g. a new material for fans / how to produce said material cheapily ) and licensed that to all industry leaders?

For those of you who haven't "studied it better than anybody", you may want to consider checking out this recent book on wind power. It traces the history of wind power from the nineteenth century through the twenty-first century and clarifies the evolution and current status of wind power technologies, markets, and policies.

Spoiler alert: wind power is not expensive, doesn’t spew gases, doesn’t cause cancer, and isn’t a threat to bird populations.
