There’s big government money on the table thanks to Biden and congress. Why wouldn’t someone come and take it. As Buffett explained at the outset, the only reason for investing in wind is to harvest government funds.

>Crony capitalism and its worst

Then I’d say it isn’t free. It’s controlled by government and big business.
