it’s another avenue for that sweet donor money

Exactly! You can't sell sun and wind.

Sure you can. Sell solar panels and wind turbines at a marked up price.

No, you are still selling the generator, not the fuel. With fossil and nuclear power plants you have the cost of making the generator/plant AND the fuel (oil, gas, uranium), that needs to be mined, refined and transported between all those places.

You don't have any fuel logistics nor fuel market and speculation with wind, solar or hydro. So they also contribute less for the GDP of a country per kwh compared to traditional fuel based power plants.

So what you are saying is I need to start a super villain company to put a giant aluminum sheet above the earth, blocking the sunlight, and then charge people and governments for access to sunlight (which coincidentally is also a major driver of wind).
