You mean welfare electric don't you? You're not paying the true cost of it so your argument fails... again.
I'll ask again, if it's so cheap why the need for mandates and subsidization?
The answer is simple, because it's not cheap and it can't survive in the market on it's own two feet. Your electric is being subsidized and paid for by me and the rest of this country.

Come talk to me about coal costs after Cap and Trade. Wooot!
If I remember correctly your argument was Cap and Trade would have little effect on the cost of energy. So which is it?
No I said shifting to renewables wouldn't cost much, as has been demonstrated this year in PJM. Those who stubbornly keep burning coal will pay for the privileged.

It's a demonstration of how subsidization can hide real costs and make people look foolish when they make posts like this. Spell it with me class... S-U-B-S-I-D-Y... as the electric generation increases so will the amount of subsidy required to maintain those levels. It' not reflected in your electric bill because it comes out of your tax bill. Everyone is still paying for it including me and anyone else that is reading this. Everyone in the U.S. is paying your electric bill, proud of that?
I'll ask again if it's so cheap why the need for mandates and massive subsidies?

As will you, supply and demand. Look it up. It's very simple economic principal.

Same reason nuclear needs it. We'll need much less after Cap and Trade levels the playing field.

While you are opining about economics please discuss the issue of infra-marginal pricing impacts.
