He is clueless.

One of Engineering with Rosie's best YouTube videos.

And the RE technology, especially storage is much cheaper today.

Are Renewables Actually the Cheaper Option?

What’s the best energy source? At the end of 2021 I set out to answer that question in a video on how to calculate the cost of energy from different sources. And I used a car race metaphor to illustrate the different components that make up the cost: construction, financing, fuel and operations and maintenance. I got a tonne of comments asking me to include more information. And this is that update

By popular request I’ve added nuclear and geothermal power, in addition to coal, gas, solar and wind that were in the original video. And we’ll rerun the car race using data from Lazard’s latest levelized cost of energy report, to see which of the six generation types comes out cheapest.

Then in the second half of the video we’ll look at another topic that came up a lot in the comments of the previous video: what are the assumptions behind the cost calculations? Do they include subsidies, the cost of firming renewables with energy storage, or transmission that would need to be added? Thanks to John Poljak from www.keynumbers.com for doing the calculations. Join us on January 20 for a livestream where we'll run the LCOE calculations with different assumptions.
