New York Times: The costs of delaying wind and solar

In a new study, the Corporate Energy Buyers Association (CEBA), a business group that promotes emissions-free power sources, found that if no additional wind and solar energy were added to the grid, it would add $11.6 billion in annual electricity and natural gas costs to electricity bills for U.S. households. Without those low-cost renewables coming online, electricity prices would rise sharply in the years ahead, the study found. The rate increases would be the highest for ratepayers in Texas. Solar and wind are among the cheapest forms of energy right now. Yet barriers put up by the Trump administration, states and utilities can make it hard for consumers and businesses to access them. The federal government has come down particularly hard on the wind industry. CEBA report HERE
