If you just say that, look at all the good stuff and you don't acknowledge the toxic stuff, you're wrong. If you're only looking at toxic stuff and don't recognize there's going to be some good stuff if you're for infrastructure or whatever, you're wrong.

Van Jones
The laws of supply and demand drive up the price, inevitably, over time. But solar and wind are abundant and renewable resources.
