They can't. It'll go to court. Solar and wind turbine projects that were in process are 80% complete. One of them off the coast of Rhode Island would generate enough electricity for 350K homes. Farmers have turned to both and have been able to make money off the excess energy they produce.

I still don't understand why oil companies don't invest heavily in renewable energy. They have the $$. They could probably even get government subsidies to build solar and wind farms. Then, they would control both renewable and nonrenewable energy.
