Excellent analysis in that it boils everything down to cost. Reminds me of the writeups on the website tinaja.com regarding hydrogen energy since so many lay people think you can get hydrogen from water. At tinaja.com he points out that electrolysis is equivalent to exchanging dollars for pesos, one for one. As far as my own off grid solar electric I continually have to point out to people that when I buy solar panels, I could care less about efficiency. Since I practically have unlimited real estate my only parameter is dollars per watt when I choose panels (city dwellers with limited space may have to concern themselves with efficiency. And wind wins this analysis. Wish I had enough in the wind dead zone where my house is at.
