"Its like you and @madamswer dont understand that innovation, research, development all cost money."Once again, you resort to gaslighting of others instead of responding to the substantive points that have been raised.
Where did I even remotely imply that innovation, research, development don't cost money?
"You want us to rely our energy systems so we have to continually purchase coal, even if it skyrockets to a cheap price of $400 USD/t"Duplicitous logic.
Fundamental Economic Maxim:
If the supply curve for an economic good is forced to the left while the demand curve keeps moving to the right, the equilibrium price of that good rises.
The reason coal rockets to high prices because supply is unable to keep up with demand, and the reason supply hasn't kept with demand is because of the policies you and your ilk have supported which has curtailed supply.
