Nuclear power is not cheaper. One cannot use prices from paid off reactors to establish prices of reactors yet to be built. The cheapest estimates for new nuclear run $0.12/kWh. Wind and solar are already cheaper than that. we can store off-peak wind for about that price.

Germany is net seller of electricity. They sell more than they purchase. And they sell for a higher price per kWh than they pay to buy power back.

In 2012 Germany exported 66.6 TWh of electricity, earning 3.7 billion euros or 5.6 cents/kWh.

In 2012 Germany imported 43.8 TWh of electricity, paying 2.3 billion euros or 5.25 cents/kWh.

http://www.renewablesinternational.net/german-power-exports-more-valuable-than-imports/150/537/61663/

Beginning in 2008 Germany began exporting significantly more electricity than they imported. In 2009 through 2011 Germany exported about 32% more electricity than they imported. In 2012 they exported 77% more than they imported.

In 2012 Germany sold 63% more electricity to France than they bought from France.

France is having to import power when heat waves happen. They are having to shut down reactors because they can’t cool them down. France has started investing serious money into solar and offshore wind and plans on reducing the number of reactors it operates.

2. Wrong. Solar, wind and nuclear have significantly lower lifetime carbon footprints than fossil fuels.

3. Wrong.

4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, and 10 – all wrong.

These are claims you made. It is up to you to prove your statements. It is not my job to do your work for you.

I Challenge all your claims.

As far as I can tell Mark was right about nothing.

Solar does contribute a small amount to the cost of grid power in Australia. Approximately $32 per year, $0.09 per day.

At the same time solar reduces the cost of power because it displaces more expensive peaking power. This amount is not reflected in the $32 per year.

We’ve seen that in Germany putting even a modest amount of solar on the grid creates very significant decreases in the wholesale price of electricity.

Before one can say that solar is costing non-solar owners they must also account for the amount that solar is saving those same people.

Dose Mark have solar power?

Even before the media reports were released, Mark informed you before time, no doubt knows what he’s talking about.

Obviously you don’t.

Here’s some bits from your link…

” ‘mind-blowing, excessive’ $268 increase”

“costly state-based solar feed-in tariff”

“He says the 190,000 homes that have solar panels are getting a ‘far too lucrative deal’ when paid for surplus energy they export to the grid.”

The Energy Supply Association of Australia (ESSA) is the peak industry body representing the stationary energy sector in Australia – an industry with more than $120 billion in generation, transmission and distribution assets. ESSA members include government owned corporations and private companies who retail, generate or supply electricity and natural gas to consumers in Australia.

The ESSA is the traditional electricity industry mouthpiece.

The ESAA estimated the current total of “avoided” costs for solar at $340 million. Around $30 per household of the cost increase is due to the solar subsidy.

The ESAA estimates that increased use of air conditioning is costing customers $330 per household per year. Eleven times more than what the solar subsidy is costing. $27.50 per month for AC, $2.50 for solar.

People adding AC are increasing load on the grid and make it necessary to increase grid carrying capacity.

Obviously if there wasn’t rooftop solar on the grid then the grid would have to be strengthened even more and the cost to customers would be even higher.

So, the solar subsidy is costing people who don’t own solar little to nothing. It might even be saving them money. And it is cutting down the amount of CO2 that is released which will help slow global warming and help hold down the increase in AC electricity usage.

Then, the utility companies, are they being hurt? The utility companies are taking electricity from solar owners and selling it on to other customers for four to five times what they pay for it.

People should take a good look at Newman. Take it from our experience with George Bush, having a leader who is ignorant and willing to lie can create a world of trouble.

Newman wants power blame on greens

The amount you pay for solar supplements is tiny.

If people weren’t adding solar then the utilities would have to spend even more money to improve the grid because demand would be even higher.

You need to understand that the coal industry is in trouble and they are panicking. They are seeing their profits being eroded by solar and wind coming on your grid.

I wonder who is spreading the misinformation about how solar is to blame for rising electricity prices? You got a guess?
