If only someone could have thought of this fifty years ago.
Let’s be clear: republiQans have tried every way to kill green energy and our planet is about to kill us for it. Great ideas like this are just that - ideas - that get voted down in governmental and corporate bodies by right-wing idiots. It’s been that way for FIFTY YEARS. Let’s at least acknowledge it. And by “us” I mean the non-right-wing christofascist big oil bastards that have done this. The rest of us. We need to talk about it this way, or nothing will change. Just as it hasn’t been doing for fifty years.
Nuclear was blocked by public perception. See my earlier comment.
I see no reason big oil can't pivot to green energy. They've got the money, the experts, the lobbyists, the infrastructure, everything.
And I suspect they will, once public opinion and reality bites hard enough. Just like big tobacco saw the writing on the wall after public perception turned and they got their ass handed to them in the courts. They quit playing like their product was safe, or in any way OK, and started in on ecigs.
(I may be full of shit on that last point, in case anyone can correct me.)
