Greed and the Real Truth behind it (part 2)

Since the middle of the last century a hand full of companies have pursued, through their patented chemical processes, ways to increase their wealth. Despite new technologies and advancements  non renewable energy sources are not only still being pursued, but are being protected by the government via massive tax breaks and funding. Petroleum is and always has been a mass of goo left over from a life form that has been extinct for longer than humans have been on this earth. There are no more sources available for the manufacture of dinosaur goo. Wind and sun we have in abundance, it does not need to be manufactured or bought. This stuff is free. My favorite argument against wind and solar power is about birds and bats. Suddenly the same people who are for spewing massive amounts of toxic chemicals into the water, soil and air are worried about a few hundred birds and bats. Bats can find a tiny insect flying around but not a windmill? I call them windmills because I grew up back when every farm had at least one windmill used to draw water up from the well. Never found any dead birds or bats around them. If these companies spent 10% of the time and money they invest in stopping progress in truly renewable sources of energy into the research and development of them, they would actually increase profits faster. That, however is to them, the dirty sock on the floor. Eventually the wind will stop blowing and the sun will cease to shine, but until then, quit acting like a stupid ten year old and do what has to be done. Pick up the sock before it's too late to go out and play.
