They get a ton of govt subsidies. Otherwise would be much more expensive than the coal/nat gas plants. Have been putting those in moth balls for the last decade or so - can't afford to maintain them while competing with the wind/solar output.
And don't get me started on the batteries and how "good they are for the environment" crap. I wish people would research how long a battery or solar panel last and what happens to them at the end of their life. Absolutely ignorant and/or uninformed to claim they are better for our environment
