    Eh, I have a genuinely hard time believing that companies who rely on what’s going to eventually be ‘free’ and ‘clean’ energy aren’t going to capitalize on it and make bank. Especially with the cultural zeitgeist of younger generations hating on fossil fuels.

    It’s a fools errand to invest in fossil fuels. In the end, those fuels can just be shipped to your local power plant anyway until better nuclear comes along.
