It's very simple. The goons that run the show cannot monopolize sunlight, therefore it will be opposed at every level. Is it not always thus? Read yer Chomsky!
Oil, coal, nuclear, someone can say "I own this", and can eventually acquire a monopoly. Do you really think that there is any real competition between Shell and Exxon? Hell, I'm not even sure they're different companies anymore...
Bush is from Texas, big oil money, as I am sure many have alrady pointed out (sorry, I did not read ALL the posts previous to mine...), so this should come as no surprise; however, apply this logic to any other commodity/process/resource and you will see the same results. Paper/hemp, oil/sunlight, tobacco/marijuana,.NET/P2P (for all you M$ bashers!), the list goes on.
There are a myriad of sources to which you can refer, but the best is, of course, Chomsky. Also try Galbraith (J. K.), and to really blow your mind: http://www.rawilson.com/illuminatus.html

Yeah, his car got stolen. THAT'S IT?? holy crap, that's pretty much it for most of the major cities in the U.S., Canada, Europe, hell, you better move to Nunuvut! And yes, he IS racist, because he mentions ethnicity as a factor by itself, ie. he seems to have a problem with it. What the hell do you THINK he means when he says that Mesquite is not as bad as South Dallas because there are not as many MEXICANS. As far as I am concerned, his post should have been moderated down as "Inflammatory, Inappropriate, or Offensive ".
