This is an explanation focused on the U.S. market, but it's principles can be perfectly applied to any region.

It is a very good way showing why climate change denials arguing that "renewables are too expansive" is outright wrong.

That theory is fine and dandy, but in Europe at least it is constantly gamed by large producers that operate both wind and gas power plants and work together to make sure that some high price fossile fuel plant always stays in the bracket thus maximising profits from their wind farms without a noticable decrase in electricity prices.
