Solar and wind energy are too costly to be useful suppliers of electricity. And, in their pricing, the greens conveniently neglect the cost of the backup generators required when the sun does not shine, or the wind does not blow. These are usually natural gas turbines, which can be turned on and off quickly, but they get no money for their off time.
The only clean and efficient energy producer is nuclear. The spent fuel rods will be reused in future generation reactors.
