The Climate, Environment and Energy Thread

[LP]

Whole-life cost (WLC) is just that Thry.  It includes planning cost, initial cost, operational cost, maintenance burden and eventual deconstruction and disposal costs.

Which is a great example, fudging the numbers by making one source operate at peak capacity far longer than it really can, and the competitor systems redundant /decommissioned long before they are done.

[member=324]DJC[/member] , I understand why you take the position that you take, I get it, and I agree whole heartedly with the goals behind green energy, renewables and low carbon, but long term the public and political debate has to be genuine or it's going to end in energy anarchy. The end result of all sides selling the public gold painted turds!
