    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 stomach the fact nuclear is better than solar/wind:

          I wont even get into the fact most refining and manufacturing is done in China using subsidized coal, and is why they are the leader in solar/battery production.
