I replied to you below with some numbers , but for more general numbers on costs , see here www . bloomberg . comgadflyarticles 20161109 t r u m p c a n n o t h altthemarchofcleanenergyI quoted Bloomberg because it ' s an easier read but source data is from EIA . The takeawaysSolar without tax credits is equal to coal without carbon capture in cost . Not yet competitive with natural gas . Wind without tax credits is competitive with natural gas , possibly even narrowly cheaper . Solar for the most part is not quite competitive with natural gas in other parts of the world . My question is why are you so against clean energy , something so blatantly beneficial ? I hate misrepresentations on all sides , but I just don ' t understand what you have against clean energy . I ' ll be the first person to say we need to be careful to make the switch as responsibly as possible , but the numbers and progress are very optomistic at this point .
