Microsoft to reopen Three Mile Island Nuclear Plant, Renewables Have Failed.

You're not an expert, you're an idiot.

says the person that can not explain how solar is a viable long term solution

He’s never answered the no sun scenario

Links don't prove you are right, it just prove you do not have the intellect to discuss this.[/quoe]

The alternative is being like you.. making baseless and false claims like wind and solar "Don't work." LOL
You're used to debating/out-shouting your wife and high-fiving with other no-verifiable-fact MAGAts.

Lazard, where you get your cost estimate, claims 30 year life for wind turbines. That is far from reality.

Lazard is using a 30 year life for coal plants when coal plants operate an easy 75 years.

Abu, you wish for links? Your link is what I am using.

Claim all you want, link all you want, it is still subsidized and not working.

Microsoft must use Nuclear because solar and wind do not work.

LINKS?
LOL.
(and I agreed early in THIS thread with MS using Nukes because AI data centers are the world's most intense demand in a small space.) (perhaps with the small exceptions of accelerator and Fusion experiments)

The largest consumers of electricity are manufacturers of chemicals, steel and aluminum.

How does solar and wind, work.
They are expensive. You can't show electric bills that have gone down because of solar and wind.

You like Iowa. Iowa gets it's power from MISO, the grid of 11 states and canada. Obviously I know something if zi can tell you Iowa power is MISO.

Iowa utilities are also suing the state to allow them to raise rates. Where is that fact in your posts.

Your source for levelized costs claimed nuclear and coal plants only last 30 years which makes the claims on price false.

You have no explanation to these facts, some coming from your source

WTF!
I've posted this about 5 times in the last 6 days. Once in either of TWO threads whose OP says it was already the cheapest in 2020 (EIA) Now Half as much.
(as one would expect from tech)

You just fabricate shlt.
YOUR claim is your politics having ZERO to do with reality.
You just take an EMPTY one or two (Double spaced) sentences to say a still Empty if longer "No."

Cheapest source of Fossil Fuel Generation is Double the Cost of Utility-scale Solar​

Solar levelized cost of electricity (LCOE) has fallen to $29 to $92 per MWh, said a report from Lazard.
June 11, 2024

Lazard released its annual report analyzing levelized cost of electricity (LCOE), a critical measure of cost-efficiency of generation sources across technology types. The report found that onshore wind and utility-scale solar have the lowest LCOE by a large margin.

LCOE measures lifetime costs divided by energy production and calculates the present value of the total cost of building and operating a power plant over an assumed lifetime.

“Despite high end LCOE declines for selected renewable energy technologies, the low ends of our LCOE have increased for the first time ever, driven by the persistence of certain cost pressures (e.g., high interest rates, etc.),” said Lazard. “These two phenomena result in tighter LCOE ranges (offsetting the significant range expansion observed last year) and relatively stable LCOE averages year-over-year.”

Onshore wind ranked as the lowest source of new-build electricity generation, ranging from $27 to $73 per MWh. Utility-scale solar was a close second, ranging $29 to $92 per MWh.

Utility-scale solar has had the most aggressive cost reduction curve of all technologies, falling about 83% since 2009, when new build solar generation had an LCOE of over $350 per MWh.

Why is it subsidized. If cheap.
