Solar and Battery Storage to make up 81% of New U.S. Electric-Generating Capacity in 2024

[abu afak]

Intermitten weak expensive land destroying sources of electricity can not power society.

Your personal BS alone.
No one else sober would agree there is no place for Solar/Wind, and that place is much higher than current. (China added 33% more solar last year and 1.8 more coal.)

So I guess you will also not be participating in my 'Mix' thread since you think it's Zero.
This is delusional/MAGA nuts.

Yes, solar energy is cheaper than other energy sources without subsidies:

• Cost over time
  Solar and wind power are cheaper than coal, nuclear, and natural gas over the lifetime of a power facility.
  
  
• Cost per kilowatt hour
  Solar power is cheaper than natural gas.
  
  
• Cost of new installations
  New solar and wind installations can be cheaper than existing coal-fired plants.
  
  
• Learning curve
  The cost of solar power decreases as the scale of production increases. For every doubling of installed solar capacity, the price of solar electricity declines by 36%.

Whi is it subsidized, if cheap

would you suggest wind and solar for the victims of the latest hurricane.

Can the hurricane victims wait for the sun to come up and the wind to blow or do the need power now?
