Renewable energy sources (wind and solar) are fueling job growth.
Jobs are a cost, not a benefit. 'Renewable energy' produces job growth because it's so inefficient.
Oh, and last I heard, Germany was giving its 'renewable' electricity to other countries for free, because it's far too unreliable and was destabilizing their grid. What happens when there's no country left with a stable grid to dump it on?
Solar generates electricity during the day and sends it to the grid.
The meter runs backward...
I use that when there is no sunlight.
I get a quarterly rebate check from PG&E for unused power.
Why do they do that? Because you are giving them free power; they return a portion of that.
The alternative is on premises batteries; I chose to not go that route.
Renewable energy creates jobs due to demand; that demand is based on value to the customer.
