1. Solar and wind power produce electricity.
Electricity is a source of energy.
Hybrid cars can be charged by electricity.
Do we need to go further?
And who is confusing the issues?
2. No it does not cost way too much to produce if other sources
become more expensive. It costs way too much now because we
buy mostly from foreign companies and we have no infrastructure
set up like we do for oil.
The energy created will cost to move to begin with. Once a grid is set up
which will be expensive, it will not be.
Nuclear energy is clearly a transitional option. You did not mention Nuclear.
