It may not be the oil industry, what's really going on right now is nuclear is making a comeback. The Renewable energy future may turn out have to be depending on it. Do people pay attention to how much it has cost of the electricity this summer? Without the battery technology there isn't much promise of the solar.

I find it equally suspicious that there’s such a number of pro nuclear posts here, given that nuclear has nothing to do with this. Seems like an astroturf campaign on its own, or at least people with zero insight into market dynamics.

Nuclear has nothing to gain by smearing solar, and in fact benefits from solar, as it very much addresses the shortcomings of other renewables. Nuclear gains a lot by aligning itself as a renewable, and this stance has already been accepted by many people concerned about climate change.
