2021-12-24 Renewables Vs Fossil Fuels: VALCOE
Engineering with Rosie dives into the VALCOE – value adjusted levelized cost of energy. This is adjusted for time of use – most solar is available only during daylight hours. https://youtu.be/6_BGHy4sfMs She uses a car race analogy to compare the solar, onshore wind, coal and gas. Solar and wind win the race. One thing I
