Energy models overestimate life of renewables while underestimating life of base load energy -1.6.23

“But when we are producing what’s called the levelised cost of energy, we not costing the whole system, we’re just modelling the “delivered” cost of energy from different technologies. There are a lot of uncertain factors in that.”

In estimates I asked the CSIRO about their flawed assumptions when modelling the cost of energy for different models. They overestimate the energy capacity of windfarms, underestimate the life of coal fired power stations and completely exclude the cost of recycling.

There are other flawed assumptions as well which I will touch on in a later post.

Just another example of how the bureaucratic propaganda industrial complex uses models to screw the taxpayer.
