"Free solar and wind generation" will never bring down prices, M. The sun might be "free", and the wind might be "free" but their "power" needs to delivered to the users. This needs generation investment, the ability to store the power, transmission lines, etc etc etc. The Good Lord only knows when they will start investing in the requirements and the ultimate cost which, as always, will be passed on to consumers.
Sadly, what we have right now is labor ideology which reigns supreme ie BS galore. My prediction is that our coal-fired power stations will continue operating at the direction of Guvnuts who will be kicked from pillar to post if their stupid policies lead to blackouts.
