My anu5,

A coal plant will generate 1100 megawatt-hours continuously, not just for one hour;
and the electricity produced, by the solar storage over its lifetime, will cost 66c / KWHr, about quadruple the current new coal plant cost.

I am glad I live in Qld!

Quadruple the current new coal plant cost ? Got any examples of a new coal fired power station that can produce electricity that cheap ?

And one that will produce zero emissions like the Solar Thermal plant will ? I don't think so but I'm happy to be corrected .
