Take away the subsidies and let them prove their economic case.

You know they gave no economic case.

So why are we building the damn things? Hasn't the mantra for quite a

No. The mantra has been 'throw other peoples money at our useless

There is no electricity market as such, its ALL subsidised and those
that shout loudest (greens) get the most money.

Its optimised for profit and ideology not for cost effective solutions.
