    This is outdated - the LCOE of solar/wind+battery storage is lower than fossil methods of power generation.

          Do you have a study then, dont just come and take a shit.

          I want the study to include storage, and maintenance obviously, and any backup power required for 100% grid reliability.

            You’re trying to claim that a study based on the ERCOT numbers during the 2021 Texas winter storm is at all representative of anything. It’s worth nothing whatsoever.

              The study included Germany too, did it not?

              The point of the study was including the effects of intermittency and non-dispatchability, which is what makes LCOE a flawed metric.

                  As opposed to green energy companies propaganda that rarely even mention the need for storage?

                  Theres a tangible reason most countries arent fully moving to it for baseload power, its not a conspiracy.

                  Heres a longer video on it if you can stomache the fact nuclear is better than solar/wind: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ifUaM7uwjqU
