Am I missing something? How does that site show anything of substance?

Don't the actual numbers coming in from Solar Star and Topaz cause you to pause? Solar Star is state of the art and I'll guarentee you it cost much more than the $2B that Buffet paid to take it over which still puts it at 1.7 times per Watt of a new Nuclear plant. And it is intermittent. I wish I could get some good third party numbers on some USA wind farms but they seem to be well hidden. The UK numbers look promising at 1.4 times but the stated project costs seem suspiciously low.
