A great 2018 report from Rocky Mountain Institute on the costs and risks of building more gas infrastructure versus renewable energy and distributed energy resources.
Authored by: Mark Dyson, Alex Engel, and Jamil Farbes.
"US electricity generators may be committing their customers and investors to as much as $1 trillion in future investment and fuel costs through 2030 as they rush to build new gas-fired power plants. Yet advances in renewable energy and distributed energy resources (DERs) offer lower rates and emissions-free energy while delivering all the grid reliability services that new power plants can, according to RMI’s The Economics of Clean Energy Portfolios report."
