Of course the entrenched players want more business as usual. That's their money machine. Pretty infuriating that this is sounding like a done deal already and little or no attention is being paid to the climate breakdown that is behind the increasing "dry year problem."
Ramping up PV and battey buildout could be done in a similar timeframe and then we would not be tethered to repressive petrostates and their pricing whims. The sun shines for free.
