In Reply to: Electric Company and Solar posted by John in La on May 12, 2018 at 05:48:07:

The power utilities are forced to pay a subsidizes wholesale rate to green power but still charge the same retail price . We have to spill water over the dams at 4 or 5 cents per Kwhr , pay wind 13.5, natural has 16.5 and solar and average of 40.2 cents . Then pay over a billion a year to Neighbouring states .

It costs the utility to operate spinning reserve online generation for when wind and solar fluctuates or fails . Who pays for this ?

Power wholesale price is low at night , spring and fall in particular . Lots of hydraulic production , little heating or AC loads . The weather is also windiest at night and during spring fall.

We have a bunch of do-gooders who want to feel good about themselves by spending other people’s money to save the world . CO2 is less than 0.2% of greenhouse gasses .
