I think there's a lot of institutional skepticism in general. Like the game is rigged, and alternative things are secretly nasty and fueled by ulterior motives. This is not surprising, perhaps it's even warranted.

What's really irks me is the other side of the coin, the things that get a "free pass," like (for instance) fossil fuels and their entire production chain. I see a lot of squabbles about the negatives of various energy tech, and somehow the order of magnitude difference between that and fossil fuels is brushed over, not to speak of oil companies' clear manipulation of public opinion.
