Unreliability preference 1: no price penalty for being unreliable In almost every area of life we pay far more for a reliable service than for an unreliable one. But in electricity, unfair rules make utilities pay the same for unreliable solar/wind as they do for reliables. — PolitiTweet.org

The cause A root cause of America’s cost and reliability problems is extreme preferences for unreliable solar and wind electricity: 1) no price penalty for being unreliable 2) huge subsidies for unreliables 3) mandates for unreliables Here’s how they work and how to fix them. — PolitiTweet.org

Policy solution: Electricity markets should require all generators to meet technology-neutral reliability standards. FERC and ERCOT (the TX regulator) should set reliability standards that all competitors must meet—not allow some to sell unreliable electricity, as they do now. — PolitiTweet.org
