This may come as a shock, but those quoted rates ARE unsubsidized.
Solar will continue. The already EXISTING Nat Gas and Coal plants will be the backup. Solar is additive to whatever all ready exists. It will actually extend the life of those Nat Gas plants.
The cost of the redundancy is not included in the wind and solar costs.
You can’t increase total generation with wind and solar without building more redundancy. At least not if you want power available 24/7/365, which I assume data centers want.
Coal plants used as backup for solar???? LOL. You might as well say you don’t have a clue.
