The oil and gas lobby literally masquerades as activists to torpedo wind and solar industries (see Trump's recent ramblings about wind farms hurting whales... there's almost zero evidence and the fishing industry is demonstrably worse).
They've been spreading false information for decades. I'm not sure there's ANY industry that has undercut competing industries to the extent that they have. This is especially damning considering the millions of gallons the oil industry has been responsible for dumping directly into the ocean. All this and they still get massive federal subsidies.
Worst I've seen solar and wind do is over-promise and support existing climate activists.
The solar and wind industries haven't even existed for as long as the oil and gas industries have been spreading misinformation. They're not even in the same league.
