Oh my yes. We're so far behind where we could and should be in the US. Some people will say that the "economies of scale just weren't there," but that's reductive. The fact is, we've been subsidizing the wrong power sources for the last 30 years. Every single dollar spent on coal, LNG, or oil has not only been wasted, but I consider them "throwing good money after bad." That is, we've not only lost the missed tax revenue, but we've lost the potential gains from making the switch sooner.
