Is switchcoal a reliable source?

[edit]

I wrote the below but then took it out as not sure right. Any ideas?

According to SwitchCoal the plants are not profitable (they assume 2023 opex of 1 us cent per kwh[1] and a 2012 estimate from another organization was half a eurocent per kwh[2]) and they say switching to solar, wind and batteries at a cost of 4.1 billion dollars would be a good investment.
