There research and infrastructure costs. It's not like it's free.
Thats the "refuse to innovate with my profits" part I said
And? It still is going to cost money.
Companies have obtained tons of public money for research, then charge extra for the research investment. Its a joke.
Correction, it has already cost us money, except the people receiving it were not responsible with the money.
I constantly hear about or see data that solar and wind power are quite a bit cheaper than other methods by now.
Still costs money. It's never going to be free.
Well, in the short-term, yeah. But for the mid- to long-term, it's quite a traditional investment. Pay some money now to build renewables and decommission coal power plants, but eventually break even, because the running cost per kWh produced is quite a bit lower.
