Except we get electricity from coal and nuke, primarily. Except where gas is cheap.

Dept of Energy has some really good reports on this stuff. Not politicized - straight data. This is just an example - typing then sleeping -

PS - if you have an accurate 10-15 year forecast - I’d love to see it. When it comes down - all depends on it yo uthink electricity production will cost $0.05, $0.10 or $0.15 KW/Hr in 15 years.

I like solar because no moving parts - so makes the long term maintenance $ easy to calculate - this for me kills wind. Solar is really a question of long term cost and amortization rates the panels don’t wear out. and no moving parts.

I wish I did. I was just watching a program on Discovery Channel which in spite of having other information could have painted a very rosy picture.
