Regardless of what is "really" cheaper in the market, we absolutely need renewables to be cheaper if we are to survive. We can do this by making them cheaper or by making fossil fuels more expensive. This is totally within the rules and is not "cheating." The market is "real" in some abstract sense but not in the same sense that emissions are. Nature and physics don't care about Exxon's profits, and they don't care whether we have food to eat or air to breathe.
