It's all about economies of scale and supply and demand. The more people deliberately use green power, the greater the infrastructure for generating it will be put in place and the lower the price will get.

I was reading on Raise the Hammer I think about the price for electricity being artificially low. How much is the government subsidy each year? What about killing the subsidy, so that people paid the real price for their power, but instead of saving that money, the government pumped that money into renewable sources of electricity generation so that over time they could gradually lower the prices again once more power was generated in a way that cost little or nothing to generate.
