A billion-dollar bribe — wind turbines directly compete with fossil gas as an electricity source.

what really cements them as abjectly evil in my mind is that they could just, you know, buy a wind turbine manufacturer, but noooooooooo instead they'll fight to kill wind turbines because that's 5% more profitable

we're not even demanding that they stop making profit, just that they make slightly less profit so as to not poison the entire planet for fuck's sake

We're not even demanding that they make less profitm I'm sure theres loads of profit in a diverse clean energy portfolio. I'm sure a lot of people would buy their own renewables for their home. You could sell tones of shit here. They just dont want to change. They have grown fat with greed in their thrones. Their apathy knows no bounds.
