Great post! Do you know how these projects either handled or proposed to handle intermittency? I.e. did these (artificially low) prices include battery storage?
When are we going to stop dreaming and look at the technical facts before we throw our wealth away. Solar and Wind and EVs are all technologies based on rocky science and weak technical logistics…. At the very best they are far from ready for prime time and at the worst they will never make it.
Look… last time I checked the sun only shines in the day even if it’s a clear day and all of the minerals to make the panels and batteries (if they are even capable) are in the ground and its going to take more CO2 to get it out than they will save.
If I was a 3rd world nation and have to feed my population and I had coal in the ground or a stiff loan from global actors to go renewable its clear what I will do..
