"Recent announcement. The consumer is expected to pay the 13 Billion, yes that is Billion, that it is going to cost for transmission lines to get new wind & solar unreliable power to the grid from their scattered sights."

Why in the christ would we need new transmission lines?

Maybe you could put that question to the experts you seem to worship as a deities? There are only fools here. My foolish opinion is that if you are going to have six to eight times the generating capacity from erratic energy, and given your erratic energy sources will be all over the place, you will likely need a lot more transmission infrastructure.

You don't need 6-8 times the capacity. You are a deluded old man.

You have not given a source. The Spectator? Andrew Bolt?

There are many examples. Most estimate between six and eight times capacity factor. This example uses hydrogen generation for most of the surplus energy storage:

Perhaps you could engage in some argument instead of deifying your experts and abusing anyone who questions them? I try my best to respect people for giving an opinion on any matter. I disagree with Armchair Critic on many issues, but I respect the fellow for his great willingness too support his opinions. Seeing him attack you like he did makes me think you a bit of a troll. The great privilege in places like this is in gaining insights into how people think. You wont get that by abusing people.

in 2019 solar costs had plummeted to $68,
Paul1405,
You sound like multinational, it's the cost to the environment we're on about & solar & wind power manufacturing pollution has gone through the roof !
They make coal look clean !

Indy,

Would you like to provide some reliable evidence to back up your assertion that; "solar & wind power manufacturing pollution has gone through the roof !", or is it just another one of your unsubstantiated claims.
