Renewable Energy : Not Cheap, Not
Green
By Robert L. Bradley, Jr
1. Read
A multi-billion-dollar government crusade
to promote renewable energy for
electricity generation, now in its third
decade, has resulted in major economic
costs and unintended environmental
consequences. Even improved new
generation renewable capacity is, on
average, twice as expensive as new
capacity from the most economical fossilfuel alternative and triple the cost of
surplus electricity. Solar power for bulk
generation
is
substantially
more
uneconomic than the average; biomass,
hydroelectric power, and geothermal
projects are less uneconomic. Wind
power is the closest to the double-triple
rule.
