The argument is always made that "clean" energy is cheap energy, and then no evidence exists to show that except in cases where the market has already found that solution, like geothermal energy in Iceland.
If renewables are cheaper, my utility would invite me to pay less for wind and solar, not more.

If your utility had to price their fossil-fuel-sourced power, to include its actual social costs,it would be hard pressed to compete with renewables.The price you currently pay is a corporate fiction.Brought to you by the 'due process' clause of the 14th Amendment.And the enormous war chest of the fossil fuel industry lobbyists.
