About what? Does 1gw base load capable renewable installation with grid storage that can work 24/7, 365 days per year even exist?
And this is fairly trivial to start with coal.
- SideburnsOfDoom 5y agoAh, you didn't mention base load or scale, just "coal is cheaper". Thank you for clarifying. It's becoming clear that (see links that I posted upthread, and the replies) that _any_ blanket statement of "_x_ energy is cheaper" is going to be wrong in some cases, at present. And things are changing year by year.
- ReptileMan 5y agoSince we were talking about emerging and developing economies I assumed that we were talking about base load since this is what they mostly need. As we can see by Itaipu and Three Gorges Dam - people prefer renewables to coal when it makes economic sense and is cheaper.
