When you consider the power that big oil and gas have worldwide, and all they've already done to sabotage adoption of clean energy, it just seems improbable to me that one day tech will arrive that provides unlimited clean energy without some kind of big ugly fight. Big. Like I can see these guys doing everything from run of the mill regulatory capture to kill it all the way up to supporting right wing (or communist) conspiracy theories or movements to destabilize democracies (all things that have been done in the past). I seriously wouldn't put anything past them. Maybe I'm being too paranoid but I have a hard time believing in any future that involves yanking away trillions of $$ in power from a small group of unscrupulous people.
