Here's something most folks overlook: what actually hits the grid matters way more than flashy capacity numbers.
Renewable projects? They're trapped in a brutal cycle. Can't achieve consistent firm generation. That upfront capital expenditure creates an NPV pit they simply never climb out of. The math doesn't lie—when your generation profile stays inconsistent, recovering those initial costs becomes nearly impossible.
This isn't rocket science. It's fundamental energy economics. Yet people keep missing it because they'd rather not dig into the uncomfortable details.

Damn, that's so true. The renewable energy narrative is just an NPV black hole.

NGL, I've seen through that renewable numbers game long ago—it's just that the costs will never be recouped.

Nah, this is exactly why wind and solar power have always been overhyped. Anyone who truly understands energy economics knows there's a catch here.

ngl this is the real truth, everyone’s been fooled by the capacity numbers—stability is what really matters.
