They're afraid of these new techs and losing profits and jobs but then their defensive arguments are weak and not compelling. But the polluters have moneyand power and that is the great challenge to this world cleaning up its energy act!
Can you grow soy beans around your strip mines? Square footage of ground used for footings and thus paved is small as the bulk of land surrounding those footings is arable.
