She does not care for the "monument" which is a thousand times larger than any project planned in it. She is opposed to corporations or any business groups actually making a profit, even if it is for grenn energy. She is anti-business, regrdless of what business it is. As for the energy free market, sure, the free market will eschew high-investment solar and any other non-fossil fuel alternative as long as it can foist the implications of heating up and polluting the air as a government responsibility. Suppose all asthmatics in the US sued the coal fired plants for making them sick, could the coal-fired plants survive this onsalught without raising energy prices to "green" levels? That is where responsible government steps in, and channels the inventiveness of the business and scientific community into non-heat, non pollution energy competitive with fossil-fuel burners in the real world. The world where we breath the products of coal-fired stacks. You misunderstand Feinstein’s grievance.
