Hey, another comment that doesn’t understand the difference between system cost and levelized costs of electricity.

Solar and wind are ONLY cheap if you ignore the costs for backup power plants and extra landlines.

We have the highest electricity prices in Germany worldwide. I really wished people stopped claiming renewables are cheap, they are not.

The spot market prices in Germany are ridiculously low. It's a problem with the compensation/tax structure.
