The one that wants all forms of energy? Because that would make the most economic sense. Let the market compete.
- disordinary 10y agoThe market only cares about profit, they don't care about the environment or the future beyond seeing growth in the next quarter.
- emp_zealoth 10y agoLetting market compete means dialing back the net metering, discounts, cashbacks and preferential treatment for renewables, which in turn means huge decrease of their allure, which in turn means less of renewables Not like I'm particularly sad, watching Germany fuck itself up so bad with renewables :/ (Price of electricy at least doubled), grid requires massive investments all the time (also, Germany had to decouple from Austria because they caused massive strain on countries in between due to volatility in Germany), the per year energy produced is still barely worth mentioning and the best part is, they effectively increased the emissions, since any energy intensive industry is long gone and relocated to China where it runs on coal PP with way lower emission standards
