    Solar panels, trains, wind turbines, bicycles and so forth all have to be made and they usually turn a profit

    that may be true, but who owns all the lawmakers?

    spoiler alert: it’s not the damn bicycle companies

    it’s about money. that’s it. big oil has the money, and wants the rest of the money–renewables hinder that, so renewables are hobbled forever. it seems like it should be more complicated, but it’s not. it’s the money, period

      That is why renewables replacing fossil fuels is so important. As soon as an industry looses its profit margin, it starts to loose political power as well.
