So much wrong with this line of thinking. Natural gas prices in west Texas are actually negative right now because there is no infrastructure to move it to refining and distribution hubs.

Wind power experienced a renaissance due to subsidized infrastructure construction.

Natural gas is clean burning and a byproduct in most cases of crude drilling. If we were really wanting clean cheap energy we'd build bigger and better pipelines to move the gas to the major distribution networks. Instead lawmakers want to install more of these structures that ruin the view, obscure the horizon, and take massive amounts of harmful chemicals to produce.
