Reply to comment by magellanNH in It's increasingly economical to install large solar facilities in states that don't get as much sun, like NH; DoE says it's competitive with "the cost of burning fuel in existing gas-fired generators." Use the $ you'd spend on a nat-gas plant's fuel to install a solar farm instead! by TurretLauncher

> wind and solar are the lowest cost sources of power generation we have right now.

no they are not .. not without stealing from the taxpayer to subsidize them

Yes they are. Take a look at the chart titled "Levelized Cost of Energy Comparison (Unsubsidized Analysis)"

The company that produces this report is the go-to source for any professional involved in energy project finance (mostly investment bankers and institutional investors). People in the business know most of the numbers/ranges in this report by heart.

You've been badly mislead about the economics of power generation and energy finance. You can choose to remain misinformed or you can do some research so you don't continue to post incorrect things. It's up to you.

That's a disengenuous chart. Nuclear is heavily taxed with expensive fees, but this shows it as being most expensive without taking that into account. And it shows wind as being extremely cheap, without accounting for all its subsidies.

This is just a chart of chosen winners from globalist bureaucrats who want you to eat bugs and soy.
