The people who delayed the process to move to more green energy are also the people who have the money and want to keep it. They thought that by not making the tools for green energy, the public would not move to it. Their poor planning and short sighted goals have allowed other countries, specifically China, to seize the lead in manufacturing power infrastructure and only now have those greedy decision makers realized how bad their decisions suck balls and how much it will cost them. Their only option to counter the free market and the freely made purchasing decisions of a public who is keenly aware of climate change is to close the border and not let in that new green tech.
This is what it looks like to see someone on the wrong side of history. They will become irrelevant and then ignored before being forgotten. But it’s the bed they made.
