With an end to governments stupid regulations we would indeed be able to provide it cheaper. Government subsidies don’t make it cheaper, its guaranteed to do the opposite because no-one is aware of how much is flying out of their pocket in other places to pay for it. They ARE paying full price through taxes and higher prices, better for it to be upfront and honest. Then consumers can make informed decisions about how much electricity to use.

LOL, trying buying enough property to put in a hydro electric. Government power subsidies worked for a long time. Just like building the interstate highway system. But then came lobbyists and rigged contracts and just general mismanagement of the utilities. TVA is a good example, the people running it thought it was their private cash cow and now they are in billions of dollars of debt.
