Right, there are places where Free Market solutions worked, and equally we shouldn't go "That's bad, get rid of the Free Market". But I'm highlighting the Tory ideology in this case because (a) their ideology makes it impossible to just fix this and (b) they've had a long time in power to do so if they were able and prove me wrong.

The use of Contracts for Difference to fund renewable power generation is an example where ideology and practicality aligned. This is a Free Market solution which nicely matches the problem.
