If you take your kids seriously you'll be straight-forward with them. Life is not the collection of rainbows and butterflies that kids think it is and the sooner they learn this, the more resilient they will become towards the many difficulties of life.

Alright, so how does that work, then?

Cost per MWh/KWh should be lower than hydrocarbon alternatives.

The losses are from CAPEX and scale-ups, or is the manner of production infeasible? If you can share, you don't have to name names ofc.

I work in the renewable industry and stating that any fossil-fuel is more profitable than solar-PV or wind for that matter is not true.

The cost for renewables has come down from $380/MWh for solar in 2009 to around $40 in 2019, which is steadily dropping due to compound innovation and accelerated adoption.

I can't stress enough to conclude, that oil, gas, coal, lignite, wood, are not more profitable or economically sound (even when disregarding environmental damage, which we shouldn't), and they never again will be more profitable.
