Gotta hand it to the fossil fuels industry, they got what they wanted and their propaganda worked.

And now Americans have a janky grid, slower / more expensive transportation, and bigger power bills.

There is no profit in making the world a better place.

It turns out that there is a lot of profit in making the world a worse place.
