The cost of renewable fuel is zero and always will be.

Same as any other fuel... all you need is a way to get your hands on
it and use it.

Infra structure has always been expensive ands always will be.

Precisely, which is wind farms are such a waste of space - they need
so much of it for teeny returns in usable energy.


In the future that will be offset by the fact of renewable fuel being
zero cost, while fossil fuel costs have rocketed.


I'm inclined to agree with you


except he is of course wrong. All fuel is in the limit zero cost.


What costs money is what you have to do it to turn it into electricity
in this case,.

And in this case what you have to do is three times more than gas or
coal and 100- times less reliable. and about 50 times more impact on the
envoronment



but we are nowhere near that point yet

There will never be a point at which renewable technology will be
cheaper than fossil and nuclear.
