Yes, and I think this is often a problem on the power generation side. The damn cost of energy storage and photovoltaics has been falling rapidly, hydropower and wind power costs are not high at all. The key is to take advantage of economies of scale: The cost of renewable energy generation is mainly in the initial investment and equipment. As long as you mass-produce enough equipment, the cost of each device will decrease due to economies of scale. However, thermal power generation is different. The cost of thermal power generation is mainly fuel, and the lower limit of the cost is much higher than photovoltaic power generation. I don’t understand why so many people are obsessed with using fossil fuels for power generation, as if it is really more efficient... thermal power no longer has a price advantage a few years ago. |
