Wind and solar power are not expensive. They are the cheapest sources of energy available. When lifetime costs are all added up (LCOE), wind is only about $3/MWh, solar $4/MWh, natural gas combined cycle is $6/MWh, coal is $10/MWh, and nuclear is $12/MWh. Storage LCOS is more with pumped hydro being the cheapest.So the idea that switching to renewables is too expensive is completely looney tunes.
I think a little edumacation is due for Mr. Davies. China’s vaccine is crappy, unlike the Moderna or Pfizer versions the States use. China could buy the good stuff, but that would cause the leadership to lose face. Unlike the West, if China opened up now, the results would be catastrophic. Gotta love that single party rule!
Anyone notice the dog looks like Giuliani?
