Reply to comment by shostakofiev in Solar energy in Europe will be 10 times cheaper than gas by 2030 by EnergyTransitionNews

Of course there is. X=the price of gas

Or the temperature it's being compared to.

Come on dude.

X = the price of gas

The price of solar is 10(X) less than the price of gas.

Solar = gas - 10(gas)

Solar = -9(gas)

The price of solar will be negative nine times the price of gas. That is the only logical conclusion that can be drawn from the headline.

That's not a measure of "cheapness", or of coldness.

If a glass half full is not twice as empty as a full one.

We know what it means only because we're used to people having grossly incompetent usage.

OK so you knew what it meant you just wanted to be a dick.

Well you actually disagreed, so it seems some people need it explained.

If anything, it is 90% cheaper, which isn't the same as ten times cheaper (which is nonsense).

It's not nonsense, it's you who aren't getting it buddy. If something costs a dollar at Target but Walmart sells it for 10 cents, it is, in fact, 10 times cheaper. See, 10 times 10 = 100. You understand percentages but not multiplication?

Just the fact that you enjoy arguing this point tells me you have a Walmart personality.

So you think 90% cheaper is the same as 10 times cheaper? You realize that's dumb, right?
