If you look at lazards LCOE report over the past decade, solar and wind are plummeting the whole time.
We should be seeing historically low rates, but suspiciously the rates have been going up.
I get grid adaptation is a nice expense, but LCOE is LCOE: the leveled cost of energy.
Therr are lots of questions why America's economy had done better (statistically at least) than the rest of the world since covid... To me it is the rise of shale oil. Cheaper energy makes for a better economy.
Oil is a good short term help, but what we really need in America is an alternative energy strategy... A path to less than 10 cent energy from Alt energy.
It's won't happen under the Cheeto, but we are in the long term making ourselves less competitive worldwide not pursuing alt energy aggressively with a boatload of subsides.
