And to whomever said that doesnt include the cost of evironmental cleanup and emissions, it does. The $2,500/kw costs includes SOx and NOx emission controls and the costs associated with cleanup when a unit is retired. If you were to take those out it would be closer to $750/kw.

tbh i dont think anyone thought your post was worth reading carefully or even very seriously

Solar works for small, individual installments. Your house for instance. But this takes you 'off the grid' so you are no longer income to the big energy company.

We could all live very efficiently if we would put some energy into it instead of just sitting back and 'letting George do it'.
