Like i cant describe to you how sick clean firm power would be at like LCOE $50

OK, I haven't considered that some of the arguments I find myself in these days are coming from people who still think solar energy and battery storage are expensive.
Already the LCOE from solar+storage is cheaper than anything else.
Seemed like the obvious outcome to me since the sun is free.

Coal mining & generation jobs: 124,400
Solar/Wind/Battery generation jobs: 582,400
Coal power LCOE: $71-173/MWh
Solar+storage LCOE: $50-131 unsubsidzed
New coal plants are just subsidized lung cancer. Communities don’t want them and they don’t make any economic sense. (1/2)

Energy Secretary Chris Wright on Fox: "We're announcing today expanded programs to help the American coal industry. We're helping it because for years it has been under assault. It was out of fashion with the chardonnay set in San Francisco, Boulder, and NYC ... coal just makes the world go round."

Just recorded a pod on solar+storage and holy shit y'all, if you are not tracking this market on a daily basis, you have no idea how wild it is. The global average price of a battery pack fell 40% *from 2023 to 2024*. That dropped the LCOE of a solar+storage plant by 22%. In a year!

NEW | Cheap battery storage means solar can now economically meet up to 90% of India’s electricity demand ☀️🔋
Solar paired with batteries could deliver electricity at a LCOE of INR 5.06/kWh, lower than the average power cost in most Indian states 🇮🇳

Lazard’s LCOE v18 is clear: batteries are the fastest-improving energy tech—down 30% in 2 yrs. Solar+storage now undercuts fossil peakers & nuclear. New nuclear is 3× more expensive at $141–221/MWh—too slow, too costly, too late. Renewables dominate. Fossil & fission can’t compete.⚡🔋 #LFP #BESS #EVs

54. Levelized Cost of Electricity, LCOE, should be defined as “what you gotta pay someone per MWh to get them to build you a power plant”. Tax treatment and future inflation assumptions can turn out to be the most important inputs.

Das "+" ist interessant. Der klassische LCOE vergleicht die Kosten der Stromerzeugung. Das ist nicht dasselbe wie die Kosten eines kompletten Stromsystems. Spannend ist auch, dass unsubventioniert verglichen wird.
