In Capitalism, too much renewable, clean energy is a problem.

Won't someone please think of the stranded assets! There are returns that will go unrealized. Actually this is not sustainable since how will coal mines or oil wells get dug if there's no market for the product?

Please, just give us tax breaks for hydrogen or nuclear or hydrogen-powered nuclear, we don't care... anything but sun and wind!

Any grid will have an issue if you produce more than you use.

There are plenty of excellent reasons to criticize capitalism, but this isn't one of them...
