Even with government $$$ it is not feasible. Recently a European wind company declined a billion US dollars to build off shore on the East coast. A German auto manufacturer ceased production of two EV models. If you read down into the details, you find that the government subsidies ended. There is no ‘market’ for this crap.
Instead of ‘if you build it, they will come’ it is “we will only build it if you pay us beforehand.”
Reminds me of the old Soviet Union. In this city everybody ‘had a job’ at the tractor factory. Outside the tractor factory were many brand new tractors, rusting and rotting away. Inside they just kept manufacturing more tractors. Imagine walking past all those tractors every day as you go to work. Instead of the Invisible Hand, there is the heavy hand of the State.
“government subsidies ended. There is no ‘market’ for this crap.”
Bingo. There’s a “market” as long as the “free” money keeps flowing. No free money, no renewables. Pure and simple.
Deloitte is too cowardly to point that out in their report because they want to keep their “renewables gravy train” running. But, the author let a tiny bit of honesty and reality seep into her report by making the points that the renewables market is booming because of free money and laws requiring companies to use renewables.
It’s driven by weak and easily duped legislators following the faddish trends and running up a $34 trillion national debt. They are NOT leaders.
Greatest hoax in the history of mankind.
