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

“Dr. Stephen P. Halbrook is a Research Fellow at the Independent Institute, and has taught legal and political philosophy at George Mason University, Howard University, and Tuskegee Institute. He received his J.D. from the Georgetown University Law Center and Ph.D. in social philosophy from Florida State University” lol the author is not even an economist - and I’m not going to debate with some guy who has drank so much of the right wing cool-aid that he would question whether or not a foundational concept of economics exists or not
