alt Hacker News> Everywhere more renewables have gone electricity has become more expensive and less reliable, completely antithetical to strong industrial development.
Have you heard of Washington state? 75% renewable energy and 10th percentile for the cost per kWh.
Washington is a bit of a special case given that most of their electricity comes from vast hydroelectric resources constructed almost a century ago. That situation doesn’t generalize to other places. It is disingenuous to imply that this is an example relevant to modern energy policy.
