Why Does Electricity Cost So Much -- when there are more renewables?

 

A companion piece to the video a few days ago, from Kathryn Porter about the difficulties of integrating lots of renewables into the grid. 

This one above by the recent (to me) follow, of Topher Field, a libertarian Aussie commentator. He explains well how it is that electricity prices are so high, in Australia. And the same hold in the UK, who follow the same system. Of pricing marginal energy at the price of the most expensive source.
