    This is really telling. Coal industry receives large government subsidies, and solar is getting put behind a lot of red tape and permitting, etc. And despite these efforts it is still catching on.

      Solar adoption has nothing to do with responsibilities or moral compasses, it’s cheap electricity. Coal mining is expensive.
