I guess cheaper renewables that cost more makes see if that person failed math.
I believe they are cheaper, at first. That first 10% or so of wind power and the first 1% to 2% of solar power is free money.
Then when it comes time to idle, hot stand bying thermal plants waiting for the wind to cut out and comes time to upgrade the entire power grid, employ batteries to make use of power sources that work when they want to no one bothers to refigure the costs.
In the end I think it will be another very expensive failed social experiment.

That said, I have so far not been impressed with example output of these predictive text machines.

Here's what you get when you ask for a geodesic dome.
Abysmal understanding of Synergetics.

About what you would expect from a language translation from some one who didn't understand said language

In a contradictory mode today: just because local conditions do not follow a trend does not mean the mean is static

Why are floods getting so much worse. Because we're making them worse.

The largest most powerful typhoon ever recorded, typhoon tip.
You'd think with "mu gullible wurmin" every 10 to 20 years there would be a more powerfuler one.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Typhoon_Tip
Now what are the chances there was a solar storm hitting the earth on or slightly before October 12, 1979.
That will take like 3 seconds to look up.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_cycle_21
"Solar cycle 21 peaked December 1979 with a maximum count of 233".
So solar cycle 21 peak was so intense for several months there was barely a break between one solar storm ending and another one starting.

A reminder from United Nations climate envoy @GretaThunberg that the world will end in seventeen days due to the burning of fossil fuels.
https://twitter.com/TonyClimate/stat...rc=twsrc%5Etfw
🤔
The end is near…???
Or.
Another failed prediction in a long, long line of failed predictions…???
This is a tough one…
