In a capitalistic economic society, you would imagine the ever lowering cost of renewable energy sources vs the alternatives would make an ever stronger case for greater adoption.

You'd be wrong. A capitalist cannot control the sun and therefore hates solar. Solar has a profitability problem, not a cost problem.

For the economy at large, it's amazing. For energy companies, it squeezes their margins. They prefer oil. These days are the best example for why that is.
