They think it's a hoax meant to funnel money into the pockets of scammers pushing these new green techs. They think it's just enriching liars who want to vilify things these people loved, all while making things somehow worse. Their vision isn't of a better future, they see a scammer getting rich while their power goes out every time it's cloudy outside or the wind stops.

it's so fucked how often they're right to be suspicious about motives but only apply that suspicion to other industries or groups who aren't trying to trick them, and never their own, which are. I guess the first step a cult must take is immunize people against being affected by any other outside forces, malicious or not. they'll always implicitly trust the cult leaders who "let them in" on how their control works.
