That’s just the stickiness of prices, not a problem with solar.

Inflationary money is basically an ugly hack to allow prices to fall without falling.

But it's not happening in areas that keep coal on their grid - Wyoming, Texas, Utah, China, etc.

It's primarily the places that try do both solar an fossil fuel retirement that are experiencing high energy prices - California, UK, Europe, Australia, etc.

Texas has the most wind power of any us state.

High energy prices happen when you don't do the basics to be ready for a change before making it. Or when you skip basic maintenance until everything falls apart. I'm sure there are many other complex factors I don't know about.

		Texas also has the most coal power of any state. As with China, success with renewables appears to depend on a policy of compatibility with fossil fuels rather than opposition.
