"US producers of solar power will no longer need federal subsidies
within eight years because by then solar power will cost less than
electricity generated by conventional power plants, industry players
said this week.

That's easy if you make generating power by other means expensive
enough through regulation.

Our local power company just tore down a perfecly good coal-fired
power plant and replaced it with one which burns natural gas, of all
things. When the cost of the natural gas I use to heat my home goes
up, I'll know who to blame.

They did get a number of good youtube videos of the smoke stack
demolition though:
