“All alternate energy technologies are inherently costly.”

I suspect that with regards to this, you are no dummy. Perhaps you could explain better than I how the cost of something ( alternate energy technologies in this case) is a measure of the resources needed to produce it. For the vast majority of things energy is the biggest resource consumed in production. Thus the cost of anything is a measure of the energy needed to produce it.

Inherently costly means inherently energy inefficient. Using more costly methods would actually be more detrimental to ‘the environment’ than hydrocarbons.
