The fuel is free, the device that traps the fuel is expensive.
Clean energy is therefore (usually) more expensive than dirty energy.
If you ignore the elephant in the room.
Things change when you account for the indirect cost the pollution causes.
If power stations that burn fossil fuel were somehow forced to absorb the same amount of CO2 as they emit, they would not be economically possible - or not at all possible.
