Mitul din energie: „Cărbunele și gazele sunt cele mai scumpe forme de energie”

Dumitru Chisăliță, president of the Intelligent Energy Association, critiques the comparison of energy costs, arguing that renewable energy prices often exclude essential costs for reliable supply. He emphasizes that renewable energy production is weather-dependent, making it unsuitable for direct comparison with on-demand energy sources. Chisăliță calls for a fair assessment of technologies based on their ability to provide energy consistently, highlighting the hidden costs of renewable systems, including storage and infrastructure. He also points out that the low prices of renewables can mislead consumers about their true costs, especially when considering long-term equipment replacement. Chisăliță acknowledges the real costs of coal energy but attributes some of its high prices to European climate policies. He critiques the European electricity market's pricing mechanism, which can lead to high market prices when gas is used to balance supply.
