In 2020, I wrote an article describing the flaws in studies that claim that 100 percent renewable energy were unaffordable.
describing the flaws in studies that claim that 100 percent renewable energy is unaffordable. I talked about these studies overestimating storage requirements and opting for inadequate renewable energy storage. I argued in favor of using more power-to-gas technology to achieve an affordable 100 percent renewable electricity grid. However, the lack of precise input data made it impossible to make a more thorough analysis of the input data used.
In the meantime, more studies have been published. The new publications are more transparent with regards to the input data used: Everyone now has access to 39 years of solar and wind data to analyse the US electricity grid and find their own scenarios for a 100 percent renewable electricity grid. To make the data more accessible for everyone, I propose using an ordinary spreadsheet tool. That way, anyone can easily analyze the US solar and wind data, adjust the amount of storage, solar power, and wind power to optimize the costs of a renewable energy grid.
