Where’s wind and solar energy in our minds?

 Someone, somehow needs to explain this issue about NPR (and others, but mostly NPR) being funded by first Enbridge Energy, a Canadian oil company with a shady past, and then also, now, DTE, which has concurrently been exposed if not busted for running dark money operations.  To a certain extent NPR needs to keep the lights on.  But on top of this there is this joke-that-is-not-only-a-joke among writers about the radio and spoken word information streams as being like "energy", as in gasoline, and energy stocks, and so on and so forth.  But it could be alternative energy, wind and solar. Big LOL's there, and this is only relevant in so far as it's a writer joke and a standard writer gripe about how there's not a lot that's worth listening to, and when are you supposed to listen to hear it - (because advertising and PR and so on only publicize media stuff that's very mainstream and not really that juicy and/or interesting to me or to writers generally, etc. etc.)

Hilariously I feel like I'm ordering at a restaurant the kind of "energy" I'd like to hear...and hear about.  Give me more of that good good wind energy, and solar power...

Where's wind and solar energy in our minds?  The parallel structure in the economy, of wind and solar energy on one side, with oil and gas stocks on the other side, is just as untenable as the parallel structure in the media, with traditional media forms getting dirtier and dirtier, and further and further behind the alternative media on the 'net.
