"Here's the difference, when the demand for wind and solar goes u, costs go down. When demand for oil and gas goes up, prices go up." True enough. If more folks relied on solar and wind, there would be more investment in solar and wind technology, and the technologies would grow more efficient and less costly. Solar and wind power are unlimited resources, the question is how effectively we can harness them. And we will learn how to harness them more effectively as doing so becomes more profitable. In contrast, oil, coal, and other fossil fuels are finite. The more who need a scarce resource, the pricier the resource becomes. It's possible we can learn how to use that resource more efficiently, so a gallon of gas means 32 miles of driving rather than 12, but at the end of the day, you're still dealing with a situation of fundamental scarcity, and increased reliance will mean increased prices for the resource itself.
