I won’t speak to the extent that oil/fossil fuel business has suppressed clean energy (not that I’m disputing it, I think it’s more complicated though and don’t care to comment on that in this context). But I will say I’ve seen huge wind farms built atop huge, now-idle oil operations eg across large parts of central Texas. Never looked into whether they’re owned by the same oil companies but it sure wouldn’t surprise me.

There used to be nothing but farmland and horizon driving through Amarillo - at night it was like driving through a void except for the occasional (usually closed) gas station that left a light on. Today it’s a surreal alien landscape day and night with all the wind turbines and their aircraft warning lights.
