text: Using the past to justify future decisions while blowing off projected costs is not looking at the facts. I'd like to see a comparison on the energy costs from various sources over the lifetime of an energy plant. And that should include price changes such as PV module costs that have seen a decline of around 30% since the first Q of 2016 and the fact that a rise in see level of say 10 feet (Greenland alone to contribute 20 feet) is likely to impose costs on human society in the hundreds of trillions of dollars (flooded cities and port facilities, reduced trade, much greater refugee flows, etc. leading to much higher likelihood of war). Those too are facts revealed by science- the same science that allowed the development of the advanced technologies we live with today. Yes- oil and gas have provided hundreds of trillions of benefits but now the costs are mounting and we have to develop alternatives that wont destroy us.
