It is worth repeating:
LCOE is Liars Cost of Energy.
It is great that the start of the return to rational thought in energy has started.
Many of state and Federal Regulations against fossil fuels and nuclear are made by people who seem to lack a basic understanding of the difference between PRIMARY ENERGY and secondary energy. Electricity, hydrogen and batteries are forms of secondary energy that to be created require primary energy. I tried to describe this on one of my articles on visualizing 100 Quadrillion BTUs http://dickstormprobizblog.org/2024/07/02/visualizing-100-quadrillion-btus-of-primary-energy-coal-should-remain-in-our-energy-mix/
Absolutely correct!
