It is actually a psychological thing: to get people into a 'green' frame
of mind so that yet more eco taxes can be siphoned of into green pockets.

To show that 'something is being done' about (nonexistent) human induced
climate change.

Renewable energy doesn't actually materially reduce emissions. That's
pretty obvious if you dive and and really look at real world scenarios.

Its a cosmetic response, allowing politicians to claim that they take
the issue seriously, and allowing certain lobbies to grow fat on
something that is essentially useless, but to a casual glance looks as
though it isn't.

Politicians get votes. Green industry makes a mint. the people get
poorer. Its exactly the correct political and big corporate thing to do.
