Here is another unfair aspect of the "green energy mandates". One state mandates wind and solar which is produced in another state, but the regional power grid raises the rates of consumers in all states their new power lines cross to help pay for them, including states which are not receiving the power. There is now a bill in Congress to put a stop to that scam, so that if a state wants to mandate wind and solar, they are the ones who pay all the costs associated with it. Fair is Fair. Ratepayers in other states should not be ripped off.
These costs of new transmission lines to remote sites where solar and wind energy are produced are part of the increased system costs of wind and solar and should be borne by those who demand wind and solar, not those who are not even receiving it.
So are you saying that system costs are the cost of transmission lines
Or are there more costs you want to add in as well
You are now entering the world of the "Grid"
The energy bills I have seen lately show line items for a variety of things
One is generally Transmission and Distribution
The costs of the lines, transformers, power poles, etc, etc are usually shown in the Transmission and Distribution line item
The US has underspent for years on our electrical grid
It is why when a storm hits, the lines go down
The bigger the storm, the more lines go down
In the Southeast, States have been hit by serious storms that have devastated regions
These costs are added in to the power bills
They do not add to cost of producing electricity
They do add to the cost of receiving electricity by the end user
If you want to compare apples to apples
fine
But you keep jumping around
