He’s correct, but forgetting the huge subsidies that get it there. Green math.

Well, sure, if you don't count that $90B subsidy.

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.
