A modest suggestion, why don't the wind, solar, etc. enthusiasts form a group of electricity users committed to receiving power only from these sources, without any reliability support from fossil-fired power plants, at the actual cost of the alternative supplies? If any significant numbers are willing to do that, you might be surprised at how fast alternative supplies grow.
