Exactly.

With the exception of hydro, 'renewables are expensive, and make almost
no contribution to carbon emission reduction - not that that's a problem
anyway.

Its all about power, politics and profits.

And harry is either a 'useful idiot' or a profiteering SPIV.

I suspect the construction costs of hydro are not minimal

It's lifetime cost v output that matters.
