Higher taxes don't come into it. Electricity from renewable sources - 
solar cells and wind turbines - is cheaper than it is from any other 
source, even after you pay for the pumped storage and grid-scale 
batteries that you need to keep it flowing when the sun is down or the 
wind isn't blowing.

Keeping the fossil fuel extraction industry as well paid as they like to 
be is expensive, and the taxpayers don't actually need to keep on doing 
it any more.
