The bottom line is that there is no free ride. Everything has it's price. Wind and solar are good alternatives but they all cause pollution, if not so much during the actual operation then during the fabrication, delivery, implementation, disposal, replacement, etc. And in other ways as pointed out here.
I am currently very interested in "clean coal" as an energy source. I have been studying it extensively and it looks extremely promising. Plus coal is extremely abundant. Modern clean coal combustion is far safer and cleaner than traditional coal combustion. And much more efficient.
