I think we're talking about the same things. I'm just trying to make the case for how we should make renewables cheaper. The existing non-renewable oil & gas norm historically depended upon heavy investments in infrastructure:
1. Interstate expressway system
2. Oil and gas pipelines
3. Fracking R&D
3. Direct tax subsidization of private refining and exploration.
We need that level of effort applied to renewables development.
The "norm" is whatever is cheapest. That is what we have to do: make renewables cheapest.
