Why would renewable energy necessarily mean fewer billionaires? Major solar/wind generation plants have to be built by someone and somewhere, it seems like the best you're doing is making billionaires pivot their investments/changing which people the billionaires are.

It's called ✨nationalised/socialised utilities✨.

Imagine not being able to even, well, imagine, a world where profit isn't the one and only motive for human behaviour.. 🙄

Why does moving to renewables necessarily mean nationalized/socialized utilities? Imagine not being able to imagine a world where one thing you support is not inexorably tied to every other thing you support.
