Here is the problem in a nutshell.
If we remember the 80’s the excuse was the car and oil companies were buying the patents and killing the projects.
If Exxon bought a few of those windmill and solar panel companies and buried it, it would be game over.
Last time gas prices were high EXON made $4B profit and paid $35B in taxes. The government always has its hand in your pocket.
Windmills are good for oil companies.
Both BP and Exxon manyfacture windmills, and when the wind dies down (which it does frequently at the most inopportune times) then the power companies have to substitute with (you guessed it) oil, coal or natural gas fired plants on the spur od the moment.
They truly love those windmills!
