> that renewable energy is cheap

Where is this the case?

There is what? Approximately nowhere with high renewables penetration and cheap retail energy prices.

Australia has so much coal and gas we could have electricity plans similar to data plans: all you can reasonably consume for $80 a month, and it would still make approximately zero difference to global anthropogenic carbon emissions.

We’re plenty happy for everyone else to burn our LNG and coal. Our LNG is cheap the Japanese even resell it a profit.[1]

Instead, we have high renewables penetration and electricity prices that have increased at a rate three times higher than general inflation.
