<i>I simply pointed out that by using prices that include taxes and incentives, this report artificially exaggerated the costs of coal and understated the true costs of solar&#x2F;wind. They aren&#x27;t really even close to being competitive in real terms, but this report falsely implies that they are.</i><p>How do you define &quot;real&quot; terms? Sure it&#x27;s not the price that would emerge if those taxes&#x2F;incentives didn&#x27;t exist, but market prices are always adjusted to the current particularities, it&#x27;s never an absolute value. For example, if it was technically and legally possible to identify all the health and property damages caused by coal pollution and force the coal producers to compensate affected people, the market price of coal would have to be higher than what you call &quot;real&quot; cost, but would that be any less real?
