They forgot rising coal and gas prices though.  By the time either are online what will those fuel prices be?  The natural gas plants will run on biogas though.

But biogas is better with distributed generation serving a renewable smart grid.

The other wrong assumption is that wind can't serve as baseload power.  With aforementioned smart grid and biogas distributed backup generation, no problem with wind variability.

Assuming carbon pricing might be wrong too.  That kind of depends on politics.  And the current recession turning into depression.  The good ole hedge fund boys are threatening to loose a(nother?)financial meltdown if a democrat wins the election.

They may take their money offshore and never come back, hehey.  And after all we've given them?
