    The assertion that Renewables are cheaper than fossil fuelled
    electricity generation is an oxymoron because if that were to be true
    private enterprise would have stepped up and replaced fossil fuelled
    electricity generation decades ago.

    Our capitalist system over time favours the lowest cost inputs and
    the highest revenue outcomes........in short, the maximisation of profit!

    If we are to be truthful we simply have to ask what more are consumers willing
    to pay for carbonless electricity be it solar/battery, wind/battery, nuclear or
    hydrogen where the hydrogen is manufactured by solar/wind etc.

    I'm willing to pay 10% more for my electricity if that's what it takes to go carbonless.
    What about you?
