My major comment relates to…

My major comment relates to the cost and required backup cost for wind and solar. Yes, they are good for the environment, but the sun does not shine for many hours a day in winter and the wind often does not blow.  This requires the building of another backup power source for those frequent occurrences. The net result of the generous payments to the producers and the cost of the backup power (capacity and MW costs) is driving my power bill to extremes (I heat with electricity). Please look at this effect when deciding future power sources.  In particular, nuclear power is also good for the environment at a much more reasonable cost and higher capacity factors
