Wind and solar are still not competitive.  The report says that coal costs $75 per megawatt hour, while land-based wind costs $83 and solar comes in at a whopping $122.  That&#x27;s far from &quot;almost competitive&quot;.  Also note that these are not costs of <i>production</i>, these are what people wind up paying for it.  That means that the coal numbers include extensive taxes, while the solar and wind numbers include extensive tax discounts and incentives.  This makes the real difference in production costs even bigger than what this report implies.<p>If we as a society decide we want clean energy, that&#x27;s fine, but it is important that people make these decisions based upon actual facts.  Clean energy in 2015 is still <i>significantly</i> more expensive than energy produced using fossil fuels (and of course this report leaves nuclear out entirely, which is far cheaper than coal).
