U.S. Fossil Fuel Industries Waging a Tired Battle Against Clean Energy

Here’s an article in Forbes on the “tired battle” that the fossil fuel industry is waging against renewable energy.  The author details how this is playing out in various states – even conservative ones like Kansas—where “only” about 80% of the voters favor aggressive Renewable Portfolio Standards, but state legislatures are running up against fierce opposition from the oil, coal, and gas people.

I agree with the position here: the fossil fuel industry will eventually lose the fight, but they’re armed to the teeth with huge amounts of money (and thus political power), and they’re a very, very long way from giving up.
