    I think the problem, as it often is, is big businesses lobbying for continued relevancy at the cost of societal progress.

      This. Tbh most conservatives I’ve talked to say shit like “solar would be great if it were viable/cheaper to install,” they’re not against it really, they just don’t think it works well enough yet, which is largely due to the efforts of lobbyists.

        I firmly believe that without lobbyists pushing us into red or blue boxes, we’d all find common ground on a lot of important issues.

        I’ve known some conservatives who are very much into solar power in a sort of independent/self-sufficient/pseudo-prepper type of way.

          I agree. I’m sure there’d still be some contentious issues but a large portion of it is entirely manufactured.
