Any energy source is going to be able to have a price tag and a logo slapped on it as long as energy generation requires infrastructure and capitalism is a thing. Wind, solar, and tidal are great; we desperately need more of them as part of our energy strategy. But they can also have a price tag and a logo. In fact, home solar has become quite a lucrative...well, not exactly scam, but "bad deal" in my area.
And fusion will have to be here, too, to fill the gaps that wind, solar, and tidal leave; at least for now. There's no "forever" answer here, only some that'll last longer than others.
You can slap a logo on anything. That's not a problem of the tech itself.
Indeed. Any company can claim to own anything. The question is whether or not it's lucrative enough to do so.
Precisely. It's already done to our homes and our food and the water we drink, pretty soon it will be done to the air we breath unless we stop that unnamable thing that privatizes wealth and is defined by the ability to profit from it.
