i hate wind power. shit murders birds like hitler did jews.

which leads to nature imbalance, lots of fucking bugs everywhere and rodents that birds would eat otherwise. solar might be better.

I would be highly surprised that Wind is not less expensive & also better for environment than fossil fuel mining.

With respect to what it costs for wind and solar, you should really add in the additional cost for energy storage. When you add in the cost for all those batteries or pumped storage hydro, renewables become extra expensive in a hurry. Of course you can also use the storage devices as load levelers during normal times to help defray the cost, but that assumes that you have cheap excess electricity available at night, like from a nuclear or coal plant.
