Why not point the same focus at the politicians who are helping the energy industry keep the status quo?

Who pays for the media?
Advertisers. Who do you think they are? Gas companies. Auto companies. Credit Cards and banks. All the companies that espouse "the good life," which depends on the Oil companies to deliver goods, and the Coal companies to juice them up. That's why I said the govt is hogtied: Oil and coal are that deep into almost literally everything this country does.
