Why are you being so confrontational? There is no one agreed upon definition of inflation. Generally, yes, inflation means an increase of price over time. If you build a solar farm then the costs to do so inflate the price of energy but that inflation is generally smoothed out as much as possible through debt (which expects a minimum amount of future available labor).

The same hold for building a new gas power plant say. It’s inflationary. But so is EVERYTHING we build where supply does not meet demand, or where there isn’t enough labor for what needs to be done.

I am not saying that renewals are specifically inflationary. I am saying that any development of new equipment is inflationary during the building phase. It just so happens that in the present case that equipment is for renewal energy.

You keep trying to tar me as some climate denier or hater of renewals.

If there was no inflationary aspect or pressure from renewals then we’d have renewables tomorrow. Right or wrong?

I’m only the messenger which you keep trying to kill.

In order for renewables to work we have to pay more to make the transition, so much more, that it will be difficult to hide the effects of inflation through debt. It’s a complex subject. I don’t have the answers.

Boomers have enough energy infrastructure to charge their Teslas or power their homes and fertilize their farms.

But if we want everyone to have access to an affordable EV then less manufacturing has to go towards building fancy EVs for Boomers and more towards energy infrastructure, etc. We don’t have unlimited labor. Therefore, the transition would cause inflation — but good inflation if actually thought about what I’m saying.
Whose side are YOU ON?
