12. But you regularly post how "the norms of society" will "be decided by" such things.

Of course, rather than admit that you put emphasis on the market you'd rather take aim at my more casual use of "free market" since, as far as I'm concerned, no market is controlled.

You still think that "the norms of society" will "be decided" by the market, as you continually post misleading reports about how magically renewables are going to overcome fossil fuels.

On a global scale they simply will not until much of those fuels are used up.
