No cheaper way to make electricity right now.
The problem with wind and solar isn't cost to operate. Its having power available when you want/need it.
When you add the cost of the needed standby generation to back up the wind and solar at 100% of capacity, they are no longer cheap.
Yeah, I know, there's a battery break through just around the corner that won't need govt subsidies to make the solar/wind and battery combo cost effective.... let me know when it actually happens.
While were in the mood for removing govt regulations & red tape, lets axe the Obama era war on coal. There's no cheaper BTU's on the planet.
