Good-Bye to Arguments Against Renewable Energy
Can renewable energy sources cost less than fossil fuel generation? And are they as reliable?
Two recent studies say the answer is yes. The studies focus on how renewable energy, coupled with distributed energy resources, can be less expensive than and just as reliable as power from fossil fuel plants.
This story includes references to distributed energy resources (DER), which are energy resources (generally renewable) produced locally, and sometimes pulled together from different locations using software. This “aggregation” of power from sources such as wind turbines and solar panels on roofs creates “virtual power plants” that can bring renewable resources to the electric grid 24/7.
