12. Solar Soothsaying will always be cheap. It is the only solar technology that works.
Works at being wrong anyway.

We have had nearly a decade of solar soothsaying here at the E&E forum, with the number of dumb anti-nuke "solar will save us" advocates who recognize that solar is not and cannot be equivalent to the coal that they don't give a fuck about.

The capacity utilization of coal plants in this country is 72%.

The capacity utilization of the weeny solar installations in this country is about 20%.

The only thing in the world that has higher capacity utilization than coal is nuclear energy, which operates at 89% of capacity utilization.

The number of solar soothsayers on this website who can understand numbers of course, is ZERO.
