World Economic Forum claims that some solar projects offer ‘cheapest electricity in history’ 📦

I have not examined the data closely, but "cheapest electricity in history" seems exaggerated. The projects that are cheap are not necessarily representative. Many solar projects are NOT cheap.

"Cheapest electricity ever" because they've gotten everything else regulated out of existence

Even beyond that I guarantee you they are counting operating "costs" with those industries forms being subsidized as well. I live in an area with a mostly wind power, let me tell you when the wind stops the costs jump up to easily 200-300% more for your bill. Not to mention the revolt the Germans had over how expensive wind and solar was, but you don't see any mention of it there.

yeah they say that cause china owns the rare earth minerals required to make them. Natgas is so cheap they're literally burning it off wastefully in Texas. Don't be fooled.

Don’t forget unreliable. The world economic forum is just a bunch of funded globalists shills. Same old same old.

While I do share sentiment over the 2nd part, i'd love to hear about your first argument

You would like to hear the argument that windmills only generate when the wind blows, and solar only generates when the sun is shining, and thus so-called renewable power is unreliable power?

So your entire point is predicated on batteries not existing?

I didn’t know I was conversing with a deranged person. Batteries in the foreseeable future do not solve any of renewables problems.

Wind projects: Am I a joke to you?
