It’s not conservatives, it’s money and power.
Comment on Trump Is Obsessed With Oil. But Chinese Batteries Will Soon Run the World

Yeah, conservatives don’t think of the future except through the lens of the present. They can’t imagine a world with EVs and batteries because they have oil brains. They are looking for solutions to problems with an oil first mindset. Sunk cost is everything.

it’s not money and power because both are on the side of renewable energy: money already today and power in the future

That’s in part because they see their future through the lens of them oppressing objective developments, so EVs and batteries will never happen in that fantasy. They took a liking to AI for example despite it being relatively new development purely because it helped them in that department. They will only embrace something if it’s ‘their’ idea, and they have a lot of shitty ideas.

Need to remember where they are getting paid from as well. That’s oil money lining their pockets.
