Will the clean energy industry be any different than oil?

[QUOTE="StatGuy2000, post: 5716596, member: 339302"] Your post raises several questions/issues, as follows: 1. "Many large oil and coal conglomerates will be able to use their massive capital to make the switch, so we may see many familiar faces dominating the industry." "How can we stop this from happening?" Why is this a bad thing? If oil and coal companies (or more properly, energy companies) move away from oil and coal mining & refining and switch to renewable energy or other forms of "clean" energy, then isn't that a good thing, since their impact would potentially greatly reduce the amount of carbon being released into the atmosphere? As you suggested, these companies have the economies of scale in place to make this transition more or less smoothly. 2. "If the industry is not ran by former fossil fuel giants, how can we stop future companies from becoming the massively influential entities they are now?" So is the issue that energy companies [B]specifically[/B] are massively influential, or large companies/corporations in general are massively influential? If the latter, then it really would not matter whether or not future companies are involved in renewable or clean energy, now would it? [/QUOTE]
