Maybe not,
right now, it is more expensive to get electricity from sun or wind even though they are free resources b/c the technology has not caught up yet. Most prices are heavily subsidize by the gov't. to stay competitive.
Burning fuel is still the cheapest now. Current gov't is pumping billions to research better ways to generate power unlike the old administration that didn't fund much into alternative ways due to their heavy involvement in oil lobbies (remember Bush actually owns oil wells).
