    And it’s hard to mine oil on top of almost any building while it’s rather easy to collect solar on almost any rooftop. This decentralizes the grid which is good for disaster recovery and national security.

      You know how capitalists love a disaster. They’ll sell shovels all day while cornering the market on ladders. All the resistance to wind and solar comes from big money.

      Bad for profits though. The sun is too free. How are they supposed to make money on this?

          We do not need anymore sunlight until we figure out how to fix global warming. Personally I’m in the put benign pollutants into the upper atmosphere and make everywhere have forever British weather camp.

      • They know. Margins on oil are bigger. When oil price goes up, charge customers more immediately and slowly lower them is a classic for a reason. But when you build a solar park, someone invents cheaper panels.

        Luckily they’re not the only people in the energy sector.
