    Well maybe, but only if they owned the infrastructure themselves.

    As it stands, the price paid to renewable energy suppliers tracks the amount paid to fossil fuel suppliers.

    There’s a reason every farmer wants to fill their fields with solar panels, and it’s got little to do with making electricity cheaper for the end user.

    That said, there’s no reason not to do it anyway, at least if we want more than a few more hundred years of humanity. A tough ask in a time where every decision is made based on an election that happens in the next 4 years by people who won’t live another 20.
