Important to recognize that it's not just hipster stupidity... but industrial psyops that manufacture, organize, and weaponize that stupidity

Any disruptive technology faces the full might of the old guard industrial complex, just as we see with Banks re: Bitcoin and in deflationary medicines.

For sure....I half suspect that entrenched players (like big oil companies) are behind a fair portion of the climate hysteria.

The old: Add regulatory burdens that become a rounding error to us, but represent a moat against new players.

One of the most amusing anecdotes I've seen first hand is big energy funding massive opposition to a transmission line from a huge dam on an adjacent grid... all that renewable hydro energy was all of a sudden bad because some trees would need trimmed to widen the transmission corridor for the lines. Psyop'd the population into a referendum against it multiple times over several iterations... same population pissed about having the highest electricity prices in the country

Can't make this shit up.
