Reply to Wind and Solar make energy cost more. Why? by drdanagram
Renewable like tide, wind and solar are expensive, unreliable, and our grid can't store energy they produce off peak to later release during peak.
A gas plant is proven and reliable, but we've decommissioned them without replacing them with something equally proven and reliable.
Nuclear is also a good option with zero carbon emissions but regulations make them expensive and waste storage is a consideration. Still better than renewable imo, people need lower electric bills.
