That may be so. But solar and wind are clear winners when it comes to cost/watt, and that's what determines which gets built.

If the energy source is not providing energy when i need it, i dont care that its cheap at some other time when its of no use to me.

Safety is not a real problema in rebewavles, they are much safe than mining/ fossil fuels of any kind.
