It is repeatedly pointed out in "The Fountainhead" that Reardon Metal is the highest quality [[objectively) and lowest price. Alternative energy is no such thing, nor does it have the potential to be so until, and unless the market forces make it so [[over oil). Similarly, John Galt's generator is highest quality and yield at lowest cost....see the pattern? Capitalism requires that the result of a market system is what? Correct, the best product/service at the lowest price.

I am surprised that you would make this error, it is such a simple an obvious concept.
