I find it interesting that some will claim that renewables increase electricity prices, but that doesn't seem to jive with the data. Top wind power states in US: Texas, Iowa, Oklahoma, Kansas, and Illinois eia.gov/energyexplained/wind… Top solar power states in US: California, Texas, Florida, and North Carolina eia.gov/energyexplained/sola… Average electric rate in US is 15.83 cents/kWh electricchoice.com/electrici… Of these 8 states the 6 Republican states are lower than US average: Florida 13.44, Iowa 14.45, Kansas 13.36, North Carolina 12.30, Oklahoma 12.15, Texas 12.27. While the 2 Democratic states have a higher rate: California 30.45, Illinois 16.02 This suggests political factors are the source of high prices rather than renewables.
