  4. It may be cheaper but that’s not the point. We live in a society where markets matter , especially to those who can benefit financially from them.

    Tap water is cheaper than bottled water too. Marketing has convinced many people that bottled water is better than tap water even though American water supply is one of the world’s safest.

    Same with solar and wind. We’re taught that energy with a price is better. So, it’s not an economics problem, it’s a psychological problem.
