I think this seems at odds from what I hear from republicans using retoric that's anti-renewable, anti-climate change and pro-oil.

Ignoring that though, energy is a market defined by government policy.

To give an example, solar assets can't control when they output, so many countries have contracts where solar gets a fixed price. Without that, peak solar times might even have negative pricing.

Those are two seperate ways to frame a market, one making renewables profitable and one making them uneconomic.

We can shrug and say "make them profitable under the current conditions" but that ignores the fact that fixed prices for output makes energy cheaper and cleaner as a whole.

My point is, there is no "true market", its something governments define and control. The question should be what outcomes you want.

I'd argue for cheaper, cleaner and more diverse energy, but I'm not in the US.
