“stopped this run in the 1960s because it was unprofitable.”

You mentioned profit. These guys are advocating FOR PROFIT solutions. They are not leftists.
It gets a little frustrating when someone gets pigeonholed wrongly just because they come from a different angle than the traditional BS we’re usually fed. Alternative technology isn’t left or right (a false dichotomy anyway), it just works or it doesn’t.
I work for a lighting company who manufactures LED lighting. It’s a superior technology, it just is. Does that make me a liberal? No, it makes me an advocate of spending less money on your electric bill so you can spend it on something else. Preferably something more profitable.
