Say what you will the Iran war has pushed many people and countries to renewable energy.
I honestly don’t completely understand the conservative agenda against renewable energy it allows independence at so many levels. Never have to see a gas pump again. Use the electricity from your house or a solar panel.
I think there’s a very simple explanation, the renewables as in solar and wind energy generation methods show that the world isn’t perfect, that even ignoring the basic notion that natural gas and coal generate CO2 emissions; natural gas, U-235 (used for nuclear power generation), and coal are of a finite supply.
That destroys their ideology that we live in this perfect world with infinite resources, because most conservatives come from a religious background. They are beyond condescending (I know this because I lived in one), even with the world crumbling from gas prices and food, I don’t think they’ll even give a damn that prices are exponentially growing. They live in this fabricated environment abstracted away from the rest of the world.
And that’s where we realize that the two party system is hollow and doesn’t actually represent anything other than greed
If the GOP actually stood for tradition, we would go back to single income households
If the GOP actually stood for self-determination, anyone could change their gender on legal documents
If the GOP actually stood for hard work and personal responsibility, taxes would be proportionately higher for the mega rich, and the working class would be getting proper compensation
If the GOP actually stood for the 2nd amendment, Alex Pretti wouldn’t have been shot to death simply for having a gun on his waist
If the GOP actually stood for Christianity, there would be homes for the homeless everywhere
If the GOP actually stood for isolationism, then this country would not be practicing genocidal foreign policy
And if the GOP actually stood for small government, well there wouldn’t be this whole… craziness
In another world I might have agreed with conservatism, but not in this one, where the meaning itself is a living contradiction
UK here, I had solar panels and a battery installed. My electric bill has gone from being £100-£150 a month down to £20. And that’s with an electric car.

And donalds & musks shenanigans have solidified the EU and the fight for democracy and independence too.

Because they’re owned by the oil companies, simple as that.
This, 100%.
Trying to tie this to any aspect of conservative “ideology” is misguided, because conservatives don’t have a consistent ideology.
Genuine independence on an individual level is at odds with nationalism
We lost the conservatives when Carter espoused it and Reagan dismissed it.
Comrade Trump has made public statements on the billions the US oil industry has profited during his reign.
