Are you tokey of monetary cost or the total amount of energy needed to actually build/deliver/install/maintain/dispose of these technologies?
If the former, you are clearly right.
If the latter, I'm not so sure (with current tech).
- ncmncm 4y agoMonetary cost, as already noted, reveals an exact upper bound on the amount of energy needed to build and deliver the goods: people doing those get no discount on their power bill. The price also includes labor, administrative and marketing costs, tariffs, taxes, and whatever profit was taken, less any public subsidy or loss-leader discount.
