If the price of nat gas goes up, coal, nukes, wind, solar become more competitive.

Without taxpayer subsidies none of the wind farms would even exist. Wind farms are strictly a non-market product pushed by evil Green leftist and corrupt cronyism paid for on the backs of taxpayers.

The Earth has immense reserves of very accessible, clean sources of energy. The biggest impediment to cheap energy the world over is busy-body politicians and corrupt businesses.

All the tax subsidies have expired and they are still putting up windmills.

Just a few month ago, Mid-America Holdings placed the largest order ever for wind turbines, and none of those will be subsidized.

On the other hand, there have been some recent events that draw attention to the externalized cost of coal that coal power plant owner or rate payer don't have to pay for. That is the health and environmental costs of coal that get socialized. Who is paying for that big coal chemical spill in Kentucky. The coal company ain't. Who's paying for the coal ash spill?

All these external costs of burning coal get socialized and you like it because you are a rightwing socialist.
