Why does the Right Demonize sustainable Energy ?

Projected LCOE in the U.S. by 2020 (as of 2015)
Power generating technology Minimum Average Maximum
Geothermal 43.8 47.8 52.1
Wind Onshore 65.6 73.6 81.6
Offshore 169.5 196.9 269.8
Natural Gas-fired Conventional Combined Cycle 70.4 75.2 85.5
Advanced Combined Cycle 68.6 72.6 81.7
Advanced CC with CCS 93.3 100.2 110.8
Conventional Combustion Turbine 107.3 141.5 156.4
Advanced Combustion Turbine 94.6 113.5 126.8
Hydro 69.3 83.5 107.2
Coal Conventional Coal 87.1 95.1 119.0
IGCC (Integrated Coal-Gasification Combined Cycle) 106.1 115.7 136.1
IGCC with CCS 132.9 144.4 160.4
Advanced Nuclear 91.8 95.2 101.0
Biomass 90.0 100.5 117.4
Solar Photovoltaic 97.8 125.3 193.3
Concentrated Solar Power 174.4 239.7 382.5
The electricity sources which had the most decrease in estimated costs over the period 2010 to 2016 were solar photovoltaic (down 79%), onshore wind (down 57%) and conventional natural gas combined cycle (down 30%).

Cost of electricity by source - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Why yes, let us look at that site. Amazing, geothermal is the cheapest, followed by wind. Conventional coal, that is, dirty coal, is more expensive than either wind or geothermal. And less polluting forms of coal are all more expensive than photovoltaic solar are. And that form of generation is rapidly declining in price.

Your own site gives lie to your claims.
 
question :
why does the right not like
that individuals can produce energy ?

i thought the GOP was for individual rights

like the right to produce energy
