For a natural gas plant, the gas to generate a megawatt-hour of electricity costs about $20. That $20 is the economic value of each megawatt-hour generated by wind or solar. Unsubsidized, wind or solar electricity, either one, costs about $80 a megawatt-hour to generate. The difference between $80 and $20 is the subsidy that has to be paid in order to use wind or solar. ... batteries are very costly for moving electricity. A megawatt-hour of solar electricity that costs, unsubsidized, $80 during the day ends up costing $270 when moved to the early evening via a battery... The $270 includes the cost of replacing the battery every five years.

Liberals have a way of forgetting costs involved in creating and maintaining so-called green energy.

The price of food at the grocery store would be cheap IF the prices on the shelves ONLY reflected farmer's costs - and not transportation, processing and packaging... You'd walk to the cash register with $30 worth of food - then have the store add on the other costs at checkout - walking out paying $90 bucks for your thirty dollars worth of food.

That's how liberals run the green energy scam.

This is idiocy

I install and fix 2-3 solar systems a week

The PV industry is 150-160 billion $ a year and growing at 20% per year

A 300 w solar panel now costs 150$

Solar capacity in California is 29000MW. There’s 2900 MW in New Jersey where my parents live and I’ve installed over 200 kw

I have systems out there since the 1990s

So all the LOSERS who try to say otherwise I say

OBEY YOUR UTILITY MASTERS
