Looks like solar, wind & bio electric will work out a lot cheaper than fossil fuels.
Well, only until the government works out how to Tax it!
World could save £20 trillion on energy costs by switching to green power
Groundbreaking report finds that a rapid switch from fossil fuels to renewable energy would save 'hundreds of billions of dollars a year' by 2030inews.co.uk
Just read this today, kind of related to wind energy
Liz Peek: Biden team off to UN climate summit as their green energy policies fuel inflation at home
Good news! Pete Buttigieg will emerge from his months-long family leave in time to attend the U.N.-sponsored climate gathering. Pete will not go alone to COP26, which starts Nov. 1 in Scotland.

The astonishing aspect of this year’s U.N, climate gathering is that it comes amid the worst global energy crisis in decades, brought on by the very policies the climate zealots will embrace in Glasgow.
The liberal media, enthusiasts all for the Green New Deal, has downplayed the global energy crisis; they especially do not want you to know what kicked it off.
The event that sent European and eventually Asian electricity and natural gas prices soaring – is that the wind stopped blowing in the North Sea. This is a fact.
About one quarter of U.K.’s electricity is generated by offshore wind towers; for six weeks in August, the wind died.
The Biden administration is struggling with rising inflation, some of which stems from higher energy costs.
Consequently, the Brits scrambled to substitute natural gas for the missing wind energy. That commodity shot up six-fold in price, driven by the resulting surge in demand and also because last year’s chilly European winter depleted storage and available product. The cost of electricity in England doubled overnight.
A shortage of natural gas spread over Europe like a virus, leading Germans to beg Vladimir Putin for more imports, which the Russian despot declined to provide. This embarrassed Germany’s Angela Merkel who, before leaving office, promoted the Nord Stream 2 Pipeline, guaranteeing that Putin in the future would have even greater control over Europe’s power.
Kudlow: Someone needs to tell Biden we have plenty of oil and natural gas right hereVideo
Because natural gas has now, thanks to LNG, become a global product, the 600% increase in EU gas prices has also sent prices soaring in Asia. China helped spur the rise by angrily blocking critical imports of coal from Australia after Canberra dared to question the source of COVID-19. Beijing, too, had to substitute natural gas in their energy grid, causing even more shortages.
As Democrats push to spend hundreds of billions of dollars for "green" projects in their $3.5 trillion "social infrastructure" bill, much of it for wind energy, nobody wants to admit that increased reliance on renewables like wind or solar carries risks.
