The oil lobby is more preventing the US from pursuing a massive program to put in long haul electric rapid freight rail and local electric rail and trolleybus transit ... preventing the US from massive investment in our massive wind resource is more the coal lobby.

Huh, vested interests with massively lucrative cash flows in dead-end industries holding a nation back from moving into the future. So this is what it was like to be Hapsburg Spain.
