I think you’ll find that cost of power is up precisely because the fossil fuel lobby fought AGAINST introducing wind. You can’t fight against a renewable (and relatively cheap) source of electricity and then complain that prices are going up after you killed it. I mean come on.
There are grown adults who literally believe that the sonar they use to map the ocean floor kills whales. The sonar the navy uses and the sonar that the oil companies use and the sonar that the scientist who map the ocean for research, that doesn’t kill whales. Just the sonar that the wind mill company uses. (Deleted by Editor.)
“Our money” funds everything. The fossil fuel companies get billions in tax subsidies. I’m having a hard time understanding why it’s totally fine for tax dollars to stimulate one type of energy production but not another.
We should be a majority wind and solar state by now, but the fossil fuel establishment has spent an insane about of money and time convincing people that it’s actually good to have OPEC in our lives. So that when a Shah sneezes in Qatar, we pay more to heat our house.
Please stop the insanity. And the gullibility.
There are still some great incentives for renewable energy projects that would help consumers pay for solar panel installation. All kinds of tax incentives both federal state and property. Your estimate of $80,000, if accurate, means you are already very very rich. The average price of solar installation in NJ BEFORE incentives is $15-$25k. So your house must be like 27,000 square feet or something.
If you take the average of $20k and you have the panels for 20 years (they last 25-30 years) that means your electric bill is about $83 a month for the next 20 years. No increase. AND you can keep your AC at like 57 degrees if you want.
You don’t have to be rich, you just have to be forward thinking. A bit of a struggle for folks these days

New Jersey electric generation attributes:
40% Natural Gas
40% Nuclear
20% Renewables- incl solar, wind and storage.
NJ does a good job with solar power.
Not good enough. We need more renewable energy.
Solar in NJ products include both electric and renewable energy certificates.
I bet you also complain about your 5G signal being poor.
Not sure what that has to do with the price of tea in China, but no, I don’t complain. Signal power seems fine to me.

I got a quote to install solar and batteries. $80,000.
If your rich, solar is cool.
If you like math, your post is not.

I wish I was rich. I can barely afford my house honestly.
I will see if I can send the quote to the blog owner. It was a 30 year loan from a local sales person. Maybe you?
“If you like math, your post is not.” What does this even mean?
I probably won’t live another 10 years.
