Important understanding is that all sources of renewable energy are variable contributors to particular economic equations.

The output messages of those suggesting renewables are or will be only discreet contributors within an energy model are essentially correct.

But, renewables have no input costs, so every watt, every btu, is free, beyond the depreciation and amortization of original investment. SO the pipeline of any renewable project is dependent upon self organizing distribution system where price dictates substitution rate at the micro and macro levels.

Accepting renewables as variable contributors to specific energy requirements, is about specific Time shapes of capital.

Read recently that a plant near Atlanta was sustaining 50% of its total energy requirement from land fill gas. In this case the gas isnt free, because its produced and sold as an alternative to other input sources from prevailing suppliers with different input costs..

The competitive advantage flows to price, because the produced gas is free to the landfill owner, who constructed the feeder system to capture revenue streams as by products of an holistic system.
