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.
You'll be spending the savings on a higher heating bill because inefficient incandescent lights help heat a home in winter. Most energy waste is heat. LEDs make more economic sense in hot climates.

Perhaps I didn’t state it clearly. I was not saying anything against anyone who has a way of making more fuel efficient cars. My issue is strictly with the government mandating the car companies produce vehicles that meet some arbitrary standard they dream up. I am all for the private sector using alternative technologies and I am a heavy user of new technologies that save me money on my electric bill. I just don’t want the government making me do it.
