@jfslowik Please explain me how it's #FreeMarket, when #government #regulation subsidizes UNRELIABLE ("#unreliables") #RenewablEnergy sources, (creating SURPLUS of them - more instances than it would be in the real free market without government intervention), and at the same time creating SHORTAGE of RELIABLE #FossilFuels, #nuclear sources by demotivating investments in them via #taxes and other policies.
