Yup, and George Soros does actually funds pro-wind groups. Open Society Foundation gives $400 million over 8 years to green economic development. That said, I think that's a bullshit argument for not supporting wind, and I'd much rather have an argument with data about the long-term economics.

You’ll notice these are not at all comparable because Soros does not have an obvious financial interest in wind supplanting oil

If I was a billionaire with tons of money and maybe 10 years of life left, I'd be dumping millions all over care free to counteract some of this MAGA nonsense that's trying to turn us into a country of conspiracies, "faith" in invisible sky daddies, and luddites.

This is important. There's a difference between charitable donations that are actually for the public interest vs. shadow lobbying by oil companies.
