wind

“I don't think that solves long periods of no wind, no solar, but it certainly has to help for lots of things.”

“Solar is cheap enough now that in most places, Solar and wind, I should say. Most places it is true today that if a utility or somebody issues an open RFP and just says, I want the cheapest power I can get, like, give me the cheapest kilowatt hours, the respon…”

“Land, I think, will become a big one. Kind of no matter how you slice it in terms of what the big swaths of greenhouse gas emissions mitigation Solutions are going to be. They're going to be pretty land intensive. Solar and wind obviously are very land intensi…”

“Geothermal has a Tiny footprint compared to other renewables. It doesn't rely on a massive amount of rare earth mining like you know, like, for instance, wind and solar production and storage production.”

“So the pretty troubling one is wind, where investment and announcements in new wind capacity have been declining for the past two years.”

“And though we're seeing some convergence, there is, we are seeing some sign that buyers are more comfortable with the existing technologies that That they have seen in the past, like wind and solar, than they may be with some of the new technology types”

“You know this year, we're probably gonna have more solar installed in toto, cumulative, than wind.”

“Solar is just on its way up. You know, it's more than forty billion dollars in the trail in 12 months. And storage now invests more than wind does in the States.”

“If you have solar wind at 25 dollars a megawatt hour today, which is feasible, those are good wind and solar projects, but maybe not even the best And you take that, that's with the ITC or PTC in the case of wind, and you take away that subsidy, you probably g…”

“At 25 dollars a megawatt hour, you are less than the marginal cost of natural gas generation. So you can build those wind and solar resources solely at, and you'll make money solely off the avoided cost of burning gas at existing natural gas power plants. Wher…”

“Talking with our member companies who have low-cost resources that they're ready to build, You know, whether it's large-scale wind, solar, storage, and the like, and they're not able to deploy, right? They are tangled in red tape, they are stuck in line”

“How long does it take for sources to go from a hundred terawatt hours to a size like 2000 terawatt hours? And if you look historically, no source has ever made that jump as quickly as solar has. Right behind it is wind with just a few more years.”

“It was the second fastest growing source and just over 200 terawatt hours, so made up a huge amount of the increase in demand.”
