Coal is irrelevant these days. A more interesting comparison is with geothermal which continues to find its capital costs 'challenging'. And geothermal has had many decades to become cheaper.

Coal supplies one third of energy production in the world. If that's irrelevant, I would love to know what relevance looks like to you.

1. I, along with billion others, do not live in a developed country, so the share of coal in developed countries is pretty much meaningless to me. 2. The fact that coal's share is decreasing does not mean it's not still over a third of the global energy output.
