By all means, calculate an arbitrary uplift on the price based on your own definitions of externalities.
But don't expect me to take you seriously when you directly compare a raw price of renewable energy with an uplifted price of fossil fuels.
Especially when your quoted price for renewable energy ignores the cost of grid upgrades, storage infrastructure, and externalities associated with mining materials to manufactur solar panels and wind turbines etc (as happened recently in UK parliament when the energy minister did a very dubious comparison between energy prices)
- triceratops 7mo ago> externalities associated with mining materials to manufactur solar panels and wind turbine Solar panels can be recycled, so eventually they will need very little mining. Have you ever recycled gasoline? Have you ever heard of the Deepwater Horizon? I think you're being disingenuous while accusing others.
- cbeach 7mo agoEven if all the solar panels in the world were recycled, you’ve barely scratched the surface of the points I made.
- triceratops 7mo agoYou haven't made any.
