The politics for this entire issue are very tricky. Putting your money where your mouth is and dropping hundreds of millions to fund clean energy is a good way to get the denialists to stop stonewalling. They can&#x27;t claim that &quot;it&#x27;s all a conspiracy to grab some gov&#x27;t money&quot; if the person is actually putting even more of their <i>own</i> money towards this issue.
