I&#x27;m wondering, when they say prices are now near parity, is that pure prices, or does it still consider the &quot;cost of externalities&quot; factor?<p>Also, does it factor in the necessary costs for peak load and low production (cloudy &#x2F; no wind)?<p>I actually don&#x27;t think life would be that bad if society had to self-limit consumption during these times, but what are the <i>real</i> facts on these two items?
