The Completely Fraudulent "Levelized Cost Of Electricity"

Look at post #5 and #11. The wind and solar curve is fraudulent because it does not take into account the cost of backup or storage systems that would be needed for times when the sun is not shining (which happens almost every night) or when the wind is not blowing.

He is still not telling me how they arrived at those numbers.

I understand they are not accounting for the battery banks.

But I would like to see an example of an equation showing what they are putting in and leaving out and how those numbers are arrived at.

He is using jargon and expecting his readers to just know.

IRENA and others are lying about solar and wind generated electricity being cheaper then coal, gas, nuclear.
They are subsidized at great cost to the nations people and industry.

Why are the electric rates so much higher in California?
20 cents to 30 cents a kw and climbing higher. So no a/c in the hot summers and not enough heat in the winters for everyone except to the politicians taxpayer subsidized homes.

This is to subsidize the solar and windmill scams and pay the big state pensions. The taxpayer gets nothing but higher costs for everything.

From another article: Tennessee has among the lowest electricity prices in the country, according to the most recent data from the U.S. Energy Information Administration. The state’s average industrial price of electricity per kilowatt-hour was 6.31 cents as of May.

I’m here to tell you as someone who has been around serious electrical powerplants a little, this is not something that happens overnight. It doesn’t happen in a quarter-century, without a serious plan. Which we don’t have.

What we have is a power grab by Leftist Greenie extremists.

These people want us freezing in the dark, or sweating in the unbearable heat.

I cannot deal with high humidity and if we have overnight fog and the windows are open, my desktop refuses to function until I dry it out.

So, when it rains in summer or the humidity goes above 80%, I turn on the a/c at 72 until inside humidity gets to 60%, turn the thermostat up and that’s how it is until the weather changes. If not rainy, the a/c at night and open windows in the daytime.

Gonna be expensive this month, tho.
