65 out of 1796 combined at this moment from wind and solar, where it's a little windy. We have a net deficiency of 1000 MW right now, it would take over 15 times our current wind and solar capacity to meet that deficit, let alone what is actually used to keep us alive right now. |
It is more efficient over the long-term than most comparable options.
Nuclear is not an option, no matter how much we want it to be.
Again, regional options. Solar in Canada is not as feasible as it is in Texas, although someone in Alberta seems to think it is getting pretty darn close.
What was the cost of the big solar plant going up near Vulcan? With subsidies it is pretty darn close to any other comparable power plant you would build.
