American Newspapers: Gone with the Wind

美国报纸：乱世佳人

While fossil fuels – coal, oil, gas – still generate roughly 85 percent of the world’s energy supply, it’s clearer than ever that the future belongs to renewable sources such as wind and solar.

尽管化石燃料——煤炭、石油、天然气——仍然为全球约85%的能源供应提供动力，但越来越明显的是，未来属于可再生能源，如风能和太阳能。

But increasingly the story is about the plummeting prices of renewables, especially wind and solar.

但越来越多的情况是关于可再生能源价格的大幅下降，尤其是风能和太阳能。

The cost of solar panels has dropped by 80 percent and the cost of wind turbines by close to one-third in the past eight years.

在过去八年中，太阳能板的成本下降了80%，风力涡轮机的成本下降了近三分之一。

In Scotland, for example, wind turbines provide enough electricity to power 95 percent of homes.

例如在苏格兰，风力涡轮机提供的电力已经足以供应95%的家庭用电。
