Trump is trying to kill clean energy, but the market has other plans. He has done real damage but strong market forces are still prevailing. “It is, I think, appropriate to call what the Trump administration is doing around its attacks on renewables a real and true scandal.”

Trump is trying to kill clean energy? Trump, himself, doesn’t have the power to stop clean energy. On the other hand, the capitalist system and the capitalist class, who’ve invested ten of trillions of dollars directly and even more trillions (hundreds) of dollars indirectly through derivatives into insuring that clean energy stays buried. These investments represent a shit ton of stranded assets if clean energy methodologies were implemented even in a limited capacity.

I’m not saying that it won’t happen but if and when it does happen, it would be an epic disaster for them. So there’s the market for ordinary people and there’s the capitalist market and they aren’t the same.
