Are you really this simple minded that you don't understand the basic concept of investing money now to profit later?

Considering power companies constantly add new power production to their grids, do you think it's smart to build coal plants now because for 10 years they will be cheaper, or pay a little extra to build solar that will continue to be profitable long past the first investment?
