Energy companies are divesting themselves of green energy investments.
I'm sure you understand that there are elements of all those industries involved in the green energy business, and that there are vastly greater and more profitable elements of those same industries that have everything to lose by a shift towards sounder ecological practices and legislation. Sure, companies like (for example) BP fund green energy projects. It makes them a little bit of money and gets them some good publicity that the industry really needed after gas price sticker shock and the whole poisoning the Gulf of Mexico thing, and it does virtually nothing of substance to reduce our dependency on oil or to replace 20th century energy production and transportation with 21st century improvements.
