Why is it "logical" to take an energy source that is cheap and abundant and has plenty of infrastructure to support it, and FORCE it to be abandoned in favor of expensive, unreliable, and unproven technologies that actually are WORSE for the environment?

The only persons who would be in favor of such a thing would be someone who would stand to make tons of money from it, and will kick a lot of it back to those who use influence and clout to FORCE it on everyone.
