"To get any reasonable comparison you would need to add the cost of full backup to solar and wind costs. "
entirely agree
and the electricity market provides that - gas and coal are providing the "full back" up to cheap solar and wind
the problem is that gas prices are rather expensive right now
once we get full to renewables - wind/solar/hydro/biomass/pumped storage/batteries - the back-up cost will get cheaper
