Unreliable Nature Of Solar And Wind Makes Electricity More Expensive, New Study Finds

require that natural gas plants, hydro-electric dams, batteries or some other form of reliable power be ready at a moment’s notice to start churning out electricity when the wind stops blowing and the sun stops shining, I noted.pay

Previous studies were misleading, the economists note, because they didn't"incorporate three key costs," which are the unreliability of renewables, the large amounts of land they require, and the displacement of cheaper"baseload" energy sources like nuclear plants.

davidvisentin1 For sure more expensive and ugly to look at.

davidvisentin1 🤷🏼‍♀️ Saving the world comes at a price.

Yep. We all know it's true.

Wind and solar are a good supplement to the grid but alone cannot even come close to powering an industrialized country.

What about the cost to our planet’s habitability and all of the health care costs from fossil fuel-caused disease? Is this a joke?

If we’d invested in nuclear power like we have in “renewable” energy over the last 20 years, we’d be at or below the 2015 Paris Climate carbon levels by now

This thread.

Capitalism to bring to the point that defecate will be very expensive.

Ok then according to this research, all R & D and thousands of hours spent are meaningless about renewable energy. Although there is numerical data, it sounds like a piece of propaganda.

New Green deal is DOA !!

More expensive than killing the planet?

And maybe not as clean as you can thought

Study sponsored by fossil fuel infustry?

Okay

answer: storage.

wait... you're telling me that renewable resources don't magically solve all of our problems? Well color me shocked PutThatInYourPipe

It’s not unreliable. It’s not entirely viable for some regions and for the places it’s not viable we will do some other alternative.
