Tesla promised that...
“Additionally, all our Supercharger energy will be 100% renewable in 2021.”

Well, they still have a few hours left to make good on their promise. I’m sure they’ll do it. /s
Active solar is great for off grid use. Integrating it with grid power is foolishly ineffective and competitively expensive.
Congress did a decent report a few years ago showing how much of the Green movement in the US is funded by Russia, and other countries who want to screw with the US.
It was largely ignored.
Thinking themselves wise
they had become fools.

I have been trying for days to get information of the cost per kilowatt hour of various energy sources.
Searches all seem to bring up the same papers from sources that I don’t trust showing that solar and wind is the cheapest.
What I’m looking for is simple -
the average cost of energy from coal is X amount per kw/hr
natural gas
nuclear
oil
solar
wind
etc
You get the idea... a straight up cost comparison.
Those papers all get into these rambling explanations of build costs, fixed costs, variable costs, yadda yadda yadda.
Got into a ‘discussion’ with a liberal family member about this over the holidays and couldn’t find a source I trusted.
