Anyone who says all of the above is a dipshite. Explain to me as if I’m 5 years old how spending excess capital to building, operate, and maintain baseload generation to backup unreliable wind and solar generation is a useful allocation of resources?

All the capital is rolled into base rates which is not only killing the consumer, but also the manufacturing and commercial base.

My God, it’s beyond me how someone like you cannot understand basic fundamentals.

Wow.

I find it hard to believe solar or wind are cheaper for equivalent power generation. And that is before taking into account replacement cycles and sheer land area.

On the flip side I do know transportation for coal power plants is very high. Especially for those in the southeast getting coal from the Powder River. 20 years ago I was told by one of our clerks that it was $1200/car to south central WI. That number was far more than the coal itself. No idea what it is now but I'm pretty sure it hasn't gone down...
