Rice farmers in Texas take it in the shorts

After GSH's explanation of the movements of the German market, does anyone accept this similar poorly explained narrative at face value?

I expect RandomGuy will be big enough to actually do some research. I would never try to explain anything to you, because you are one of those people who actually prefer to remain blissfully ignorant. The one thing I've learned is that you NEVER bring the goods - just ridiculous comments. I don't have any problem proving that what I said is true.

This comes from cleantechnica.dotcom, a group that is rabidly in favor of alternative energy sources (so you won't bother attacking the source):
Under the Merit Order ranking system for deciding which source to put on line first, all available sources of electrical generation are ranked by “marginal costs” (the additional cost of supplying one extra unit) – and the lowest marginal cost sources must be used first.
Source: Clean Technica (http://s.tt/15Wwg) ... Afternoon peaks used to be when German utilities could charge more for electricity supplied to the grid. But solar has changed all that – by having the lowest marginal costs (zero) at a time that coincides with its peak production.

If wind power really has a cost of zero, shouldn't it be free, or nearly so?

Like I said, the whole thing is a big ing game. It has nothing to do with how much it actually costs to produce the electricity, and everything to do with trying to prove a point that doesn't exist.

So when RG actually tries to discuss the costs associated with developing alternative power, ie non-marginal costs, and is reasonable then why do you just repeat yourself?

Its kind of like vy and his transcripts of the court proceedings. You just repeat yourself. When you first came in here and accused everyone of trying to frame the discussion I knew right away that is exactly what you were going to try and do.

People see through it. So go ahead and label me as just some adversarial unreasonable jerk and repeat your initial arguments again.
