2. Making money off "investments" has nothing to do with environment.

Nov 2020

We have "invested" over two trillion dollars in so called "renewable energy" in the last decade, with the result that the annual accumulations of carbon dioxide in the planetary atmosphere have reached an unprecedented 2.4 ppm/year on average, after being well below 2.0 ppm in the 20th century.

There's lots of money to be made in entertainment, and even the fantasy business.

Here's what I think about the massive "investment" in solar and wind energy: History will not forgive us, nor should it. Someone's going to have to clean all this trash up, and it's not going to be the people who made money off of it.
