The economics of wind, solar, gas, and nuclear are very well documented and known. Making a robust grid is well known.
"That's when I realized"
You understand how utterly ridiculous this sounds, right?
"That's when I realized that spacecraft should be made out of aluminum foil"
- merpnderp 5y agoWho am I to believe? The published costs of installations coupled with power company records or studies which don't look anything like real world data, but always unerringly tell me wind is cheaper. I based my opinion on real world data, and only real world data could change it. Maybe that sounds ridiculous where you're standing, but I'll never know. And like my man Richard Feynman would say if he were alive today, p-hacking, cargo culting, and outright fraud are alive and well - endemic in the life or death sciences - and super-saturating the more politicized sciences. Takes 5 minutes to get a rough estimate of something to see if a study is even close to being accurate. Try it. Pick a small wind market in ideal conditions, pick an established utility with public records, and do the work yourself.
