Power generation will always be expensive and heavily subsidized by the state along with Water and agriculture. Coal is the next best thing. Plentiful, cheap, super polluting. I'm not sure a grid can rely on solar and wind. They are getting cheaper ofcourse but they need a lot of land, high maintenance, and not exactly the most reliable. We wil figure it out eventually.
