I don't see any reason for the renewable we have, unless its in a remote location where power lines are not available. If you actually get down to the true cost of solar and wind without subsidies, it makes no sense at all.

Well, for one, it would help other areas of the world without the infrastructure that we have built here in the states. We could also dramatically lower our infrastructure costs by localizing power to homes, instead of an electrical grid.
On a national security standpoint, localized solar panels, wind, natural gas on a house makes us less vulnerable to a solar flare or terrorist attack. As well as we wouldn't be funding Islamic royal families that fund international terrorism, and we could leave the middle east alone.
Just a few of the good reasons to go with renewable sources of energy, that don't require massive power generation stations.
It would dramatically cut into the profit margins of Exxon and several other US oil operations as well. Its not just about coal, Republicans are against removal of subsidy from the oil industry and coal.
I say remove it from all. Solar, wind, coal, oil, nuclear, every damned one of them. Let the free market decide.
Food, energy, and water are way too important to leave entirely up to the free market. People take for granted the lights can always be on, the faucet will keep running, and food can be purchased. We just need to have better policies to provide these essentials.

Um, the free market likes money. Customers demand 24/7 service. I think the issue takes care of itself.

But does any country leave it up to the free markets completely? I'm all for making things more efficient, but I don't see an entire free market solution as the answer... which I'm talking about.
How long would it have taken electricity to reach many rural areas had it not been for the New Deal?
