Midwest has massive wind power potential, and it’s a growing target for solar power projects as well. That seam cuts from north to south across the country’s wind-rich Great Plains , making it a key barrier to transmission lines that could carry wind power to eastern markets hungry for carbon-free energy.

Moreover, using renewable energy to create the fuel can help solve the problem of intermittency that plagues wind and solar power, and so it is essentially efficient storage. The Middle East, which has the world’s cheapest wind and solar power, is angling to be a major player in green hydrogen.

Then, beginning around 2009, first wind turbines and then solar photovoltaic panels decreased enough in cost to become competitive in electricity markets. More installations resulted in more “ learning curve ” cost reductions – the decrease in cost with every doubling of deployment.

Using Hitachi Energy’s HVDC Light technology, SuedLink DC4 will transfer up to 2,000MWs of emission-free electricity, reportedly enough to power 5 million German households. Hitachi Energy will supply an HVDC Light converter station at each end of SuedLink DC4 to convert AC power from the transmitting grid to DC for delivery through the link.

A big part of the world’s electricity decarbonization challenge lies in expanding transmission capacity for wind and solar power — and according to energy experts, Europe and the U.S. That’s because temperature is the main variable for power line capacity, and wind speed is a primary determinant of temperature.

According to asset management firm Lazard , the levelized cost of energy — the price per megawatt-hour over a project’s lifetime — has fallen 71% for land-based wind power since 2009. Large solar fields have plunged 90%. . gigawatts of solar power developed through a competitive bidding program.

Wetstone noted that wind and solar developers face “near-term, concrete deadlines” for completing projects to be eligible for federal tax credits set to ratchet down at year’s end. “The question is [whether we're] going back to 2009 [when] there was limited tax equity.

As with the last stimulus bill, the industry's plans center on securing changes to two federal policies: the Investment Tax Credit (ITC) for solar power and the Production Tax Credit (PTC) for wind power. For wind power, the term "safe harbor" applies not to when projects are started but when they’re completed.

Beyond the need to absorb the country's growing share of wind and solar power, the grid will likely “need to double in size to support electrification of transportation, heat and other industrial processes,” all of which are needed to decarbonize the U.S.

From his perch at Climate Depot , the blog he’s run since 2009, Morano has elevated fake climate experts, encouraged the harassment of real climate scientists , and promoted the myth of “global cooling.” For fossil fuel ideologues, sowing misinformation about wind and solar power is proving to be an effective stall tactic.
