Renewables are cheaper per kwh, but it's yet to be seen if they're cheaper when you get to higher grid renewable percentages and need to involve massive grid storage.

In the US we already have something like 30% which alleviates pretty much all the storage concerns. For our dollar right now, solar and wind are the best place to invest.

Agree, but the leadtime is very long, so where's the best place to invest in 10 years? Hopefully the grid is much more renewable then.
