Joe says solar and wind costs are lower than coal.

Only because of coal for baseload. Gas is better. But without some sort of baseload power plus dispatchable power like on-demand gas, your electric bills would skyrocket. For one thing you would need a giant grid to get some stability in wind power production, and/or very expensive storage for wind and solar.

He gets away with it because the Democrat Media doesn't fact-check Democrats.
