    So, now you're agreeing that wind is the cheapest ?

    I'll lock that in for future reference.

    Best you share that with the other deniers in the fake news cubby house. wink.png

    Costs associated with backing it up ? Do you mean like every other form of generation on the grid ? Power station units that are offline for months or even years at a time ? E.g. Callide.

    Massive generators that have to go from Australia to Germany for repairs ?

    " A spare generator weighing about 255 tonnes will be transported from AGL’s Loy Yang A Power Station on Thursday for repairs in Germany. Described as a “superload”, the convoy will stretch 108 meters and will travel by road to Port Melbourne before being loaded onto a cargo ship. Longer than an A380 Airbus, the convoy is so large it requires three prime movers to pull it. A fourth guides the load from behind. The total weight of the convoy is 650 tonnes. Significant route planning with VicRoads and the Victorian Government has been carried out to minimise delays. "
