But, as the article notes, it is difficult without external influence for the market to accurately place a value on things like reliability and emissions-free generation. And if those things are difficult to price into the market, how much more difficult will it be to place a value on intangible aspects like fuel diversity, long-term energy availability and security, and price stability.
