Read through the methods section. They're basically making up numbers. They use a shit-ton of jargon to diguise it, but it's all just made up statistics weighted to show an outcome they favor. They even admit in the opening paragraphs that they take subsidies into account for the costs for solar and wind. Which is ridiculous because the subsidies themselves are a cost to the consumer just showing up on the tax bill instead of the utility bill.
Oh I know, that's one of the only ways that renewable will ever be cheaper than bulk fossil generation.
Where I live the local utility pushed some aggregation bullshit on the city to consolidate the city and suburban electric systems with "green" energy. It costs more, and you have to opt out to keep the old "dirty" rate. It's just a gibs to the utility.
