That is ignoring capacity factor.
From your link we see that the most expensive power generation of all is residential rooftop solar. If cost is the concern, why support the most expensive option that also has a low capacity factor?
- lostlogin 4y agoThis always makes me laugh. What other power source is accessible to the home owner? If we are going nuclear and it’s so efficient and cost effective, why is it always subsidised so heavily? Its full cost has never been paid anywhere, as storage etc stretch off way into the future. It seems eternally close to being cheap and reliable, but we keep screwing it up.
