Our centralized for-profit energy industry has resulted in Big Oil titans who have put their personal profits before the common good and the good of the planet. In these days of their waning political power, the fossil fuel titans are talking green energy in order to stay in control of whatever energy future the nation realizes.
We cannot trust them with it.
Now that all of the pumping, piping, mining, and fracking must cease for the good of the planet, the costs of energy research and development is more manageable. We do not need the titans in order to install wind farms and solar arrays. They have become as anachronistic as the giant reptiles upon whose bodies they have relied to line their pockets.
No more ‘business as usual’. We can take a better path.
