Why did renewables become so cheap so fast?

Look at the change in solar and wind energy in recent years. Just 10 years ago it wasn''t even close: it was much cheaper to build a new power plant that burns fossil fuels than to build a new solar photovoltaic (PV) or wind plant. Wind was 22%, and solar 223% more expensive than coal. But in the last few years this has changed entirely.
