There is no more critical issue today than energy. Energy affects our health, standard of living, environment, and national security. The establishment view is that solar, wind, and batteries will cheaply and easily power the world. President Biden declared that renewable energy is the cheapest form of energy. Larry Summers, one of the most influential economists, convinced senator Joe Manchin to vote for the inflation reduction act because renewable energy is so cheap, even subsidizing it will reduce inflation. Mark Z Jacobson, Stanford professor, and the world’s most influential renewable energy advocate, recently claimed that the cost of “new utility solar is 2.5 to 5 cents/KWh”, and therefore California should close Diablo Canyon nuclear plant rather than invest more money into keeping it running.
Impressive analysis. Do you have contact information? We are always looking for energy research, particularly offshore wind, here on the east coast, as we are facing the installation of thousands of wind turbine project off our coast.
