Not true, the push to green energy has been led by academia.Once you understand how the system works in academia, it's not hard to understand why they attack farmers the way they do:
So who does that leave? Oh yes, you criticize farmers because you reckon there's not many of them in academia so you won't be challenged and the leftist media outlets already hate them so they'll lap it up.
- You can't criticize China or India because half your students come from there and they pay big money.
- You can't criticize big power generation companies because they fund your research and your title of professor is de facto "bought" by bringing in research funding from industry.
- You can't criticize air travel because you fly all around the world to preach at conferences.
- You can't criticize government policy because that risks your seat on the next big committee and your subsequent knighthood.
