Wind energy is a young technology which continues to progress rapidly with far more potential
than we might imagine, and it's becoming more competitive
falling from 38 U.S. cents per kilowatt - hour (kWh) in 1986 to between 2 and 3 cents per kWh today.
A recent report from the Institute for Policy Integrity shows that the rapidly
falling cost of renewable energy technologies (
wind and solar, but not only
wind and solar), coupled with the stubbornly low price of natural gas, mean that CPP compliance is likely to be cheaper
than anyone projected.
Skeptical Science notes that when the coal externalities of the study are included in coal's price, it increases the levalized costs to approximately 28 cents per kWh, which is more
than the 2009 U.S. Energy Information Administration cost of hydroelectric,
wind (onshore and offshore), geothermal, biomass, nuclear, natural gas, and solar photovoltaics, and is on par with solar thermal, although the costs of solar thermal are
falling.
«The evidence in this study suggests that effectiveness in the national electricity market would
fall to less
than 70 per cent if the proportion of energy provided by
wind is doubled from 2014 levels,» the report says.
Furthermore, rapidly
falling renewables costs are on track to make building new
wind and solar farms cheaper
than continuing to run existing coal plants by the mid 2020s.
Instead, using obsolete data allows them to miss how the cost of
wind energy has
fallen by more
than half over the last five years, as documented by both government and private investor data.
But in my opinion this
winds up having less impact
than if they would let the chips
fall where they may in which case they would be much more influential on someone like me.
