If renewable energy was cheaper, the free market would use it over fossil fuels without missing a beat. Bigger profit margins AND you can put a shiny eco friendly sticker on your company! Which is why your claim is bullshit, because companies aren’t using renewables. And because companies aren’t using renewables, the government has to subsidise them.
