Not a single comment here on the macrodynamics of corruption - petroleum industry does NOT want a major shift to solar, as that would imply cheaper (or free) gas for your (now electric) vehicle.
Cheap/free fuel is an existential threat to their business model. The fact that fossil fuel is a major contributor to climate change is glossed over as long as the $$ roll in.
Their end game is to make it impossible for us to transition to another energy source until they have wrung every possible last cent from this one.
Thus, tariffs on solar, attacks on EV adoption, and demonization of nuclear are clearly things that have worked wonders for their bottom line.
