It matters not.
Once energy sources are competitive, the watermelon environmentalists “discover” that the energy source is dangerous.
This has happened with nuclear and hydroelectric. It will happen soon with wind if it continues to increase as a viable source.
The only prudent thing for humanity to do is bring capitalism to an end.

I don't think you have to worry about wind becoming cost effective, for a very long time. Wind power has lots more problems than we are led to believe, and the "environmentalists" are already attacking it, anyway.
Solar is well on the way to becoming much more cost effective in the next few years, so it will be the next big target for criticism.
Geothermal shows great promise for 20 or so years out. I've already heard one liberal express concern about cooling the interior of the Earth.
Indeed, you do have to keep in mind their REAL goal.
