Billions in U.S. solar projects shelved after Trump panel tariff
It's interesting to contrast this with further details released recently from Xcel Energy's competitive bidding in Colorado, which had some unbelievably low prices for wind, solar, and solar combined with storage:https://pv-magazine-usa.com/2018/06/07/worlds-largest-lithiu...They're planning a GWh of grid storage attached to 700MW of solar, at a cost of 3.0-3.2 cents/kWh, which completely beats the cost of coal. And that's without taking in to account coal's massive costs that it doesn't pay, in terms of our health (COPD, mercury consumption in fish, etc...).We have some absolutely awful leadership in this area that is trying to kneecap the future of our country. Colorado's process makes me hopeful that by 2022, this will mostly be in our past. But losing several years of a technology shift is nothing good for the US.
