renewable energy is cheaper than alternatives

 

Solar and wind energy, combined with batteries gas as a backup are the cheapest new energy sort and are can be built fastest.

This is shown in a study for energy sources to fuel the spiking AI energy demands, which compares these systems with the prototypes for small modular nuclear reactions. It should be noted that the ideal solution in this study relies partially on offshore wind, which may be more readily available in the UK then elsewhere.

US studies also show how renewables are cheaper than coal as an energy source for most location in the US.

Japanese research shows that adding cafeïne to fuel cells reduces amount of platinum needed as a catalyst in fuel cells.

Even with rising prices, caffeine is still cheaper than platinum.

Sustainable energy study

A great study on UK energy generation scenario's and alternatives,
with accurate numbers and calculations.
The entire article "Sustainable energy without the hot air" is online, here's a 4 page summary.
