Amen! On that, we can agree.PS. Feel free to argue against this, I doubt I will be able to write more - instead I am looking forward to the volatility of next week - I secured some funding, so I can sell if TSLA goes very high and also buy if it drops very far down. Let's see.
BTW, my views may seem "traditionalist" but my overarching point is just that wind and solar are great, but we need to pair them with storage. Also, that nuclear and other "baseload" sources of power are quite valuable to the grid. This is informed by my many years working in energy, both traditional and renewable ... including:
- Valuation of natural gas power plants (building spark spread option pricing models)
- Associated swaps and derivatives hedging. Being long/short anything and everything from power, nat gas, regional and DA-RT spreads, etc.
- Bidding of > 500MW plants into the day ahead power markets across the U.S.
- Pricing multi-year wind hedges (no banks will do this w/o heavy discount due to significant *un*predictability of wind generation)
- Project financing of utility-scale wind/solar assets (25+ year valuation models) and working with world-class wind/solar prediction consultants incl. DNV GL and Garrad Hassan
