You can't produce electricity with coal unless you build the plant. The government has subsidized most forms of energy, so I don't see any differences between dirty energy and clean. The only real difference is wind, solar, tidal etc, won't be held hostage by suppliers or market conditions. We just need more people like T. Boone Pickens to see there are ways to make money off of the technology and it will happen. Culturally, the challenge is to show people we can continue to live a comfortable lifestyle and conserve energy. We can solve a lot more problems by cutting back on demand than rushing projects to meet demand.<br><b>References : </b><br> Every source of energy takes huge up front investments.
