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.
