The free market is trying to supply renewables, they are cheaper, more flexible and simple to deploy, the free market loves that shit.
It's vested interests fighting it at every turn that's the issue.
Yeah, those vested interests are part of the free market.
You don't get to cherry pick this
It doesn't seem like a very "free" market with lobbyists, subsidies, and pet politicians propping up the establishment entities in every corner of the market. Too big to fail and all that.
