Average price per megawatt hour: $26

2 billion dollars for 531,000 megawatt hours delivered from this sinkhole works out to be $3,800 per megawatt hour.

Seems cheap compared to other solar options.

And that is the problem with solar. Other options are a lot cheaper. A LOT CHEAPER. So what is the solution for the left and enviros — make the other options a lot more expensive (by constraining supply) thereby making solar more compelling. Of course, this would create hardship for the average American but they really don't care.

Clearly, as you have shown, electricity would have to become extremely expensive before solar is compelling. The two technologies might meet in the middle at some point but that would still mean that heating and light ones house would be extremely expensive... and unaffordable.
