We consumers/citizens have decided the best form of energy (renewables: wind, solar, geothermal), and we also decided that we do not have a current infrastructure in place to harness and use them- so we are deciding to take money from the current regime to fund these energy forms.
What's the problem here?
You really think that all of the industries that rely on oil for profit (Big Oil, Big Auto), haven't rigged the game for the past 100 years so that nothing could supplant them? A patent for a car that runs on water was created 75 years ago. That was bought by Big Oil and burned. The game is rigged, son. There is no "market". It's all a shell game.
