Yeah perhaps I’ve been misinformed but this kept saying that countries with more renewables had less efficient grids and electricity costs were higher.
Am I misreading it? I thought the exact opposite was true and nowadays renewables are generally cheaper.
- ggm 3y agoIt's such a contradictory article. It's conclusions are divorced from most of its substantive points. Solar should have lower transmission cost overall because of local solar. I am unsure where "less efficient grids" comes from unless it's because of terawatts in a single giant coal burner or nuke. Non UK economies like mine have no nuclear and do have expensive transmission nets but it's a socialised cost and a net benefit overall. He somehow elides over a 2 to 3x advantage in one space but worse overall. How worse? Why? His strawman myth demolition was good.
