Someone help me out with the math here.
If 60 megawatts of solar cost $250 million why is a coal plant that will cost $5 billion be a good investment to generate 1500 megwatts.
If you had no cost savings for scaling up the solar plant that would cost $5 billion would generate 1200 megawatts. There is technology that helps store the heat and other power that could be easily folded into the costs. Night time we are not in peek demand so most new plants built are to support peek needs.
Solar is free only paying for the water to generate the steam in comparision to the daily use of coal that has to be trained in. Then the pollution aspects.
I do my part, I have the cool share thermostat. I just like to see investment be done the right way.
