No, the correct Big Three were mentioned.
You are living in a dream world if you think that Oil Companies and Coal mining companies are trying to kill off wind power. No, they are investing in them. As long as the Government pays them to.
They are also the major players in 'biofuels'.
However, the truth is that wind power is not economically competitive with coal based power. Generally, for every KW of wind power, the utility has to have a KW of coal/oil/gas based power standing by for when the wind stops. Germany is going through that now. The political decision to abandon Nuclear Power and rely on Wind and Solar means that they are going through a massive build up of coal based power.
Sorry, but Wind and Solar are not "clean" in practice. The backup is usually dirty old coal. It's the cheapest because it is the most abundant.
I have lived in Nevada, and the wind does stop. Las Vegas gets most of it's power from coal. Second place is nuclear and third is Hydro. Solar and wind are down around 1%. when I lived in Las Vegas, I was an Engineer for the power company there.
The good looking numbers in this article are set against a background of total power provided at less than 1%. Even with the growth claimed, it's still less than 1%.
