It’s quite clear that a major impediment to a fuller embrace of renewable energy is the pushback from fossil fuel giants who still have huge lobbying budgets and outsized influence with members of Congress.
What should infuriate us all is the durability of their old arguments focused on the necessity of a mix of technologies– this as a way of nurturing a certain “diversity” and maintaining a stable of options. They neglect to highlight that such a scenario wouldn’t do any harm to a sustained enrichment of their bottom line.
It’s always about profit margins, about the money. It’s an intentional dragging of feet and turning a blind eye to environmental degradation, in the name of doing business the way they prefer to do business.
