One thing you might want to consider: Truss is going to pay the producers full price by paying the difference between their determination of what full price should be and what consumers can afford. This is in effect a price subsidy in an industry which is monopolized, cartelized and capable of pricing power. Think early 1970s artificial oil shortage. So whereas this government borrowing to say build out a solar energy system would make good use of capital and increase public wealth, subsidized oil prices is more like helicopter money dumped onto the Kings country estate.
