Question on renewable energy?

[play_festivity]

Why do people say that at first renewable energy will be costly for us consumers (I guess in terms of cents/kWh, correct me if I'm wrong), but then in time the cost of renewable energy will come down and become as cheap as the cost of today's non-renewable energy?

Thanks.

Due to the set costs. Also the cost will drop as a function of mass production, lower cost of source materials.

If they manufactured affordable home wind turbines we could all become self sufficient. We could sell excess electricity to the national grid and buy it back on calm days.

Yes. And from that day forward the savings will continue to be greater as the influence of inflation will be applied to less dollars.
