Electricity from renewable sources - solar cells and wind turbines - is cheaper than it is from any other source, even after you pay for the pumped storage and grid-scale batteries that you need to keep it flowing when the sun is down or the wind isn't blowing. Keeping the fossil fuel extraction industry as well paid as they like to be is expensive, and the taxpayers don't actually need to keep on doing it any more. -- Bill Sloman, Sydney
