What's the opposite of Progress? Republicans.

Just now listening to a BBC story about a massive solar power plant in East Germany (made possible by government mandate) something profound occurred to me. With the new American administration and Congress, there's a real possibility that sustainable energy plants could actually be built in the United States. Think of the solar power potential of the American West--why hasn't anyone built solar power plants there yet? Because fossil fuel based power has been protected by the previous administration. In a very real way (and not just on this issue) the Republicans have been literally opposing and preventing progress.
