You keep saying that's the way the world is, yet we know across the board that the way it is is being rolled back as we speak. In multiple countries and multiple States laws are being put in place to drag back progress so that these companies can be profitable. The way it is was people were able to create their own energy. So why isn't that being defended by your premise? You say there's no investment but look people are investing right now. How is investment being helped by governments paid for by special interest making it so people can't do those Investments? Again your premise is utterly flawed.
This topic was about the larger power market, so big industrial things. But even for people putting solar panels at home. Make it more expensive than getting regular power and see how that progresses... There are of course always some fanatics who will want it for the cause, but most people do it because it's also economically advantageous for them.
I've been trying to find how much % of (renewable) power generated these days is from home solar installations, but it seems hard to find....
But try to follow the topic a bit, we were talking about the big players on the grid, not small home solar installations that don't take part in the system discussed here.
