    Because for some reason in my city “delivery” cost of the renewable energy costs 12% more than non-renewable.

      it’s more than likely that money is going to fund construction of new renewables.

      That sounds like a problem worth solving, and I can’t think of a reason it would be the case without using the words “kickbacks” and “corruption”

        it’s possible that it’s corruption, but it’s also possible that’s just being skimmed and stuffed into production of more renewable energy. That would make sense, given that we need to build more renewable, and already have existing fossil fuel infrastructure.

        From what i’ve dug into, the latter seems the most likely, especially given how much of a mess the power “market” is.
