    Don’t worry everyone. The free market will take care of this for sure! Deregulated private companies always have the best interests of the consumers at heart!

      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.
