This gives renewable electricity priority over conventional power.

这使人们在可再生能源与传统能源二者中，优先考虑前者。

In parts of America, these clean power sources are finally cheaper than dirtier, conventional power.

在美国的部分地区，这些清洁能源总体上比原有的污染能源便宜。

Here are the results.In fields from Iowa to Texas, wind power is now cheaper than dirtier, conventional power.

下面就是其结果，从爱荷华到德克萨斯的发电站，风力比肮脏、传统的电力要廉价。

And today, clean power from the wind or the sun is actually cheaper in many communities than dirtier, conventional power.

今天，很多地方来自于风能和太阳能的清洁的电力价格要比传统的有污染的电力价格还低。

To keep power flowing, the system relies on conventional power plants, such as coal, gas or nuclear, to kick in when renewables falter.

为了保持电力持续供应，电力供应系统仍需依赖传统发电厂（例如火电厂、天然气电厂或核电站）在可再生能源供应不足时顶上。

Paradoxically, that means the more states support renewables, the more they pay for conventional power plants, too, using " capacity payments" to alleviate intermittency.

吊诡的是，国家对可再生能源的支持越多，对传统发电厂的补贴也就越多，因为政府需要支付" 保持产能费用" 来缓解清洁能源间歇性供电的问题。x。

Unlike conventional power stations, which  are individual projects requiring a great deal of prep work, with these you just have  to add one to your basket and it's on the way.

传统发电站是需要大量准备工作的独立项目，与传统发电站不同，您只需在篮子中添加一个，它就在路上。
