>>11098361#1 reason is SCARCITY
nuclear, renewables, etc. the green issues are smoke screens, they dont matter. why they are essentially banned, is that oil and coal, is a FINITE resource which you can retain a constant price for.
renewable are essentially infinite resources, they can power thousandfold the energy we use at the moment, but that also means the costs fall hundreds fold.
once renewables eventually become widespread enough (renewable energy powers the manufacturing and resource processing that produces the renewable energy harvesters) there will be a cycle that is constantly slashing the cost and increasing the energy output capacity.
the fossil fuel industry and it's associated industries (military manufacturers, government fuel tax) at that point will be shit canned, their industry will be reduced to producing niche products for "hobbies" like combustion engines go karts and steam trains.
that's why it's vital, as for as long as oil companies prevent renewables getting into that cycle of accelerating decreasing costs, is going to be the time that oil companies as we know them are allowed to exist. they're dead if they don't stop renewables taking off.
and safety is always a BS issue, look at car deaths, no one gives fuck about deaths once they get used to them.
