    I see. But sometimes, progress really makes lesser problems than there were before.

    We have cheap and generally eco-friendly solar, we install plenty of wind, and now we have a much more ecological way to store the power, too.

    The rich care about their profits, and if eco-friendly tech delivers that, they’ll be all-in. Some fossil kings will try to stop it, but at this point, this trend is irreversible, because others among the rich are ready to destroy them.
