Renewables are already far cheaper than coal. That's what's driving their growth. The biggest limit on renewable growth right now is available capital.

They are cheaper than new coal. They are not quite cheaper than the operating cost of existing, large coal plants, with a few exceptions, last I checked. But that may be only a couple years away now.
