I don't subscribe to conspiracy theories much, but it really makes you wonder when it makes so much sense to switch to renewables, and yet it takes so long and we're still over 90% reliant on burning of oil for energy production here.
It's a bit more understandable when you had to front the cost of the system, but now with business models that require no money upfront and instant savings (ala Solar City) there's no reason not to get it.
