Solar/wind - just not viable atm.
Try telling that to Aurora Tasmania(the power utility). In Tasmania we don't burn coal BTW, most of our power is produced by Hydro and to a lesser extent wind farms with a small proportion (backup only when necessary) by Gas. As for solar not being viable, that's simply not true, the setup costs are high but the technology is (and has been for decades) achievable if not overly affordable.
