With people working, we will generate tax revenues, even at a lower tax rate.

I can see a real opportunity for everything to improve.
I want this to happen, but I think a lot of people are concerned about this happening. Either they would lose their jobs producing current power, or once the switch has been made, even the green jobs will go away. There is only so much power that needs to be produced, and there are few or no on-going costs with wind, solar, geo-thermal and hydro generation.
