If everyone was only market friendly, nobody would be advocating for solar/wind/coal/etc. None of them compete with coal and gas when it comes to unsubsidized cost.
- _Codemonkeyism 10y agoSolar is cheaper than coal without subsidies (and coal is/was subsidized a lot in western countries over the last decades primarily b/c of jobs). Not to nitpick but "advocating for ../../coal/etc. [...] None of them compete with coal" doesn't make a lot of sense to me.
- hueving 10y agoNo it's not, otherwise that would be massive news. The only way it's cheaper is through charging coal for externalities, which is the exact point I'm making.
