StopTheseThings
In fact, I have come to the rather astounding conclusion that even if
wind turbines and solar PV could be built at zero cost, it would not
make sense to continue to add them to the electric grid in the absence
of very much better and cheaper electricity storage than we have today.
There are too many costs outside building the devices themselves. It is
these secondary costs that are problematic. Also, the presence of
intermittent electricity disrupts competitive prices, leading to
electricity prices that are far too low for other electricity providers,
including those providing electricity using nuclear or natural gas. The
tiny contribution of wind and solar to grid electricity cannot make up
for the loss of more traditional electricity sources due to low prices."
