Transmission is much more expensive for solar and wind than other
plants.... electricity prices rose 21 percent while electricity from solar and
wind grew from 14 to 37 percent between 2009 and 2017.

Advancements in solar and wind technologies have made these energy sources
significantly more affordable. Yet in California, a state which has always
championed renewables (especially solar energy,) the average residential
electricity rate is the 7 th highest in the nation, at 19.17 cents per kWh.

How much does wind power really cost? - World Economic Forum
https://www.weforum.org/agenda/2015/04/how-much-does-wind-power-really-cost
But if Americans realized the full cost of generating energy from wind power,
they would be less willing to foot the bill - because it's more than most
people think. Over the past 35 years, wind energy - which supplies just 2% of
US electricity - has received US$30 billion in federal subsidies and grants.

If wind or solar replaced a 2-gigawatt nuclear power plant, and batteries
provided the only backup, 6 to 8 gigawatts of battery storage would be
required. The U.S. power grid has about 1,060 gigawatts of total capacity, of
which about 130 gigawatts is wind and solar capacity.

A proper comparison reveals that wind or solar is five or even ten times more
expensive than natural gas or coal electricity. To understand why this is so,
we have to explain some basic facts that...
