But ignoring that, the cost to finance per household would be: only 3 trillion / 132 million users or: 23000 per person with a finance cost over 30 years to save would only be $116. So assuming somehow businesses would not download costs to consumers and assuming somehow governments woudl not download costs to taxpayers, in 30 short years, this would pay for itself. |

To keep up with the demand of the grid, we will ALWAYS need nuclear, fossil, hydro generation to keep up with the grid demand. Solar can never stand on its own. Add the cost to recycle solar panels (toxic silicon) after its aprox 10 year life has been exhausted and add in the amount of electricity needed to recycle. I want the cheapest energy I can get. Nuclear, Natural Gas, hydro and clean coal gasification. Wind and solar are scams to make ypu feel good and not good economics and not 100% environmentally clean. Do your research instead of being sheep. Quoting: Leo17 Wind, hydro and solar can work together. Also wood/plant material are stored solar. I would stay away from nuclear because companies are too cheap to do the right thing. Energy can be stored as compressed gas, water/gravity storage or flywheel batteries. Eventually fossil fuels would peak and become too expensive. I do not know when but in somebodies lifetime. Achduke |
