Right. But the fundamental question is not which solution has the lowest dollar cost to the end user after subsidies. The question is which solution produces the most energy balanced against the lowest environmental impact.

Private investors don't foot the bill 30 years from now when heavy metals are leeching into the soil around a landfill.

Private investors love the fossil fuel industry. It must be the future, then, right?
