I'm always impressed by these reports...
I do wonder about their impartiality though - there are a lot of people who could stand to gain if they could influence these numbers.

TL;DR: They have been systematically getting it very wrong, always in favour of fossil fuels.

Nearly nobody in an industry that manufactures goods can foresee a way to sell the goods they make for less than ~half of what they currently sell for. Yet sometimes prices can go down by a factor of 10x or 100x or more in ways few predict.
I'm not sure if malice or incompetence is really a better judgement of the work though.
