Cheap wind power ????

The lifespan of gas plants is from Sask Power. Read it yourself!

So do you think they don't know what they are talking about?

And gas plant boilers can be updated, rebuilt and refitted when they are at the end of their useful life. Which according to Sask Power is about 25-30 years.

But the flat earthers won't believe anything that doesn't fit their distorted view of the world! LOL

I'm also curious how the author knows the lifespan of newer wind turbines.

Do they have a time machine where they can go into the future and see how long they will last?

Or is this based on the same type of models which predicted climate and energy costs from renewables?

Chuck, you keep posting the statistic that the lifespan of a natural gas plant is only 25 to 30 years.
Do you know what the source of that figure is?
I'm not aware of any natural gas generation that has been decommissioned due to old age.

Fairytale land stats

They say they both have about the same lifespan.

Don’t Wind And Solar Projects Have Short Lifespans?

Reality: The average lifespan of newer wind turbines is more than 30 years. For a solar facility, it’s also about 25 to 30 years. With good maintenance, that can be even longer!

Background: For a comparison, the average lifespan for a natural gas power station is also 25 to 30 years.

I’ve seen a lot of stupid from you but this is one of the stupidest things you’ve posted today. Today isn’t over yet so I won’t hold my breath!

When SaskPower says that a new solar system will out last a new natural gas power station, how can we believe the numbers?

what does coal electricity cost? I emailed SaskPower and they won’t tell me, what’s the secret?

[chuckChuck]

So Sask power is wrong?

Then show us the numbers that show Sask Power is wrong about renewables being the lowest cost new generation sources.

Instead of comparing apples and oranges compare wind and solar to the cost of nuclear and natural gas in the same state or province.

Lazards LCOE has done a national US comparison but you don't believe them either?

Put up or shut up or show us the numbers. I am betting you will run and hide again!

Saskatchewan has regulated rates Alberta has a deregulated electricity market like Texas. Rates are higher in Alberta than Saskatchewan because of economic with holding and profit taking by producers driving up the prices. And both have renewables.

Manitoba has even lower rates using renewable hydro. And plans on expanding capacity with lots of wind.
