But I feel certain that the Corporate Businesses that produce and sell fossil fuels energy do not want to see any successes with green energy and also feel certain that they will do whatever they can to destroy this competition. If I was the CEO of EXXON-MOBIL I could easily wipe out Solyndra and never be found to be responsible for it.
You are right that many of the producers and distributors of fossils don't want renewables to succeed, but several have invested heavily in renewables. BP is the most notable example I can think of. While they are not a producer, as much as I rag on them for many of their practices GE has made several killings on production of gas turbines, but they are fully invested in renewables. There is actually quite a bit of cross-over these days, but I can think of several that would be quite happy if we shriveled up and blew away, as the case may be.
That being said, I think it's important for us to have a balanced energy portfolio and not go nuts and focus on any one source of energy.
