If that same capital had been spent on modern nuclear or advanced natural‑gas infrastructure, the outcome would have been transformative.

I have long been meaning to address the myth that renewables provide the cheapest electricity. This myth has achieved “everybody knows that” status which means that a rebuttal must have strong supporting arguments. ...

I think that this assertion of wind and solar electricity generation being “cheapest” definitely has the claim for the number one spot.

They can be very confident that no one in their circles will ever check the math to see if the numbers add up.

They are destroying their economy, and have almost nothing to show for two decades and hundreds of billions of dollars invested in the useless wind and solar farms.
