I guess that means if you were an oil exec, you'd do no maintenance on your pipelines, tank farms, etc and when they were no longer operable you'd just shut them down. Instead you'd invest in solar or wind or whatever Al Gore approves and beg for the government to make people buy your power at a high price.

Why don't we let private investors invest the way they want. Oil execs can invest in oil infrastructure, "alternative" execs can invest in their own infrastructure.

Investment decisions are best made by people investing their own money, not collective decisions made by government telling or coercing others how to invest theirs.
