Solar Farms

So the wind doesn't blow in winter in Canada, North Dakota or Texas?

This about solar panels there wizard , keep up or give up

[AlbertaFarmer5]

And as we have been pointing out for the past few winters, every single time we get a cold snap, and energy consumption hits a peak, wind generation goes to virtually zero. Even if the wind were to blow, most of the turbines have to be turned off since they are not rated for those extreme temperatures.

And the solar panels in winter get about 5-6 hours of daylight to produce power that’s need 24/7 or we freeze

Have you heard of inflation Furrow?

The costs for everything related to electricity are going up and generation is only one part of the cost of delivering electricity.

Solar and wind have some the lowest life time costs of electricity. LCOE

Storage is available and renewables are still growing and improving.

How can Texas and North Dakota have so many renewables if they don't make sense?

Crickets or excuses on that question every time!

Ever think for one second why there was inflation ….
never mind , you can’t think for yourself

The inflation excuse in energy contradicts centuries of energy deflation in inflation adjusted terms.

Until solar and wind came along, each successive energy revolution had been cheaper than.what it replaced.

Which is why it became the replacement. Not because governments mandated it.

[AlbertaFarmer5]

If the renewable energy revolution was really as cheap as we are led to believe. It would be highly deflationary, not inflationary.
Just like the first industrial Revolution was.

Our entire society revolves around the price of energy. If energy were getting cheaper, so would everything else we do.

Instead Chuck is using inflation as the excuse for high energy cost, while simultaneously claiming it is cheaper and even free.

Chucks where did yous go
ohhh right , takes all night to get your AI info lol

Read it again!

Wholesale electricity prices have declined in Spain because of renewables. Whether these lower prices are passed on to consumers is a matter of policy, the market and regulation. But one thing is clear renewables produce lower cost electricity in Spain.

You can make all kinds of arguments as to why that wont work in Canada. But it doesn't change the fact that renewables have some of lowest lifetime cost of electricity in many places.

On our farm every solar kwh displaces a more expensive kwh from Sask Power.

The result is lower cost electricity.


Summary

The increased penetration of renewable energies in Spain, especially solar and wind, has reduced wholesale electricity prices by 20% in the last three years and could cut them by a further 20% by 2030 if the ambitious PNIEC targets are met.?
