>But if something cheaper exists today, and nobody invests in the expensive thing
I think you are talking past me. The green bodies have constantly touted how we already reached the inflection point where renewables are cheaper than coal, nuclear, etc. The quiet part that isn't spoken aloud is that these renewables were only economically positive with substantial subsidies and credits. You can't have an honest conversation when the water is mudied to such an extent.
Except this isn't the case. GP talks about how removing the incentives is "going to have a big negative impact on the economy" due to all these green projects no longer being viable. Indeed, whether they were subsidised or not in the past doesn't matter... but it's also not relevant to this discussion either.
