    The crazy thing is that renewable energy (particularly land-based) is much, much cheaper than conventional generation. This makes sense, as while construction and maintenance costs might be higher over the life of the plant, there is no fuel cost. And yet, consumers end up paying more for this cheap energy.

    Detaching the generation market from the consumption market was down right evil.

      We’re also not so consumer friendly - that, you hear decidedly less about.
